Ron,

At:
<http://www.grillecloth.com/designers/design6.html>
I find:
                   "These two Hallicrafters sets were designed by Raymond 
Loewy's New
                   York firm under the leadership of Richard S. Latham. 
These pictures were
                   taken from page 113 of his book Industrial Design. To 
learn more about
                   Loewy go to his web page.
                   Raymond Loewy's web page is a154K graphic and takes a 
while to load."

(The two sets shown are the SX-42 and a Hallicrafters TV set.)
"Raymond Loewy's web page"  is:
<http://www.art.net/Lile/Loewy/loewy/>

This link is apparently the notice that an aucion of Lowey's artifacts will 
take place and is not a site established or maintained by Mr Lowey.

"On June 10th 1995, S.C.P. Faure et Rey, Auctioneers in Rambouillet France, 
will sell at auction the Archives of the late Raymond Loewy (1893-1986). Memos,
Correspondences, Manuscripts, Drawings, Photos, Models, Movies, Tapes, 
books, and Press Cuttings are a part of this archive."

My Google search for "Raymond Loewy Hallicrafters" resulted in four screens 
of hits.. the above may be the best of them.
Here is the search URL:
