[NJARC] Armored Chassis?

[Robert Bennett]

Rich -
            I think they "Armored" it against stray RF. Joe Cro has a early
set completely lined with copper....... probably for the same reason.
Probably a sales line to get some radio folk to buy an armored radio. Not
bulletproof, shellproof, or grenade proof. If it were, we'd see a lot more
"Brunswicks".

obvious question - what is an 'Armored Chassis'? Were radio chassis less
than durable prior to this marketing/manufacturing discovery? Were they
using up post WW I scrap?? Anticipating a new war???
