[Milsurplus] Who was the original designer of the "Old Family" FMradios?

[John Vendely]

Relatively little information still exists about the origins of these 
remarkable radio sets.  However, some research I did years ago indicated 
these radios were designed by Crosley, incorporating a number of circuit 
techniques that came out of research conducted at Bell Laboratories.   I 
think I may still have one or two technical papers published on the subject 
back in the early 1950s.  These fabulous and historic sets were truly state 
of the art, and have been unfortunately neglected by the "collecting" 
community...
