[Hallicrafters] H-13 Puzzle

[Duane Fischer, W8DBF]

Hello All,

I have an audio only interview where Bill Halligan, Sr. is talking about his 
Ham station as a teenager of about fifteen or sixteen. He mentions having a 
receiver that he calls the H-13. Now Hallicrafters did not build this model 
until 1933 and it was Jim, the designer of the ill fated SX-23 and the 
incredible DD1, who designed it for Hallicrafters. Since Hallicrafters did 
not yet have an engineering department and production facilities, all their 
models were built in Chicago, IL by the Silver Marshall Company.

I am wondering if Jim designed a different model that Bill might have been 
using fifteen years earlier? After he joined Hallicrafters perhaps he 
redesigned it and it became known as the H-13?

Can any of you shed any light of clairification on the H-13 and its designer 
Jim M.?

Thanks.

FYI: In an earlier post about the DD1 I think I refered to the SX-24 as 
being the ill fated RX, sorry, it was the SX-23.
