[NJARC] Picture Challenge

[Alex Magoun]

Al,

Since the fellow on the right could be inspector Clouseau's father, I'm
inclined to think it's French, from either WWI or shortly after.  Another
French radio with four tubes is here,
http://www.radiomuseum.org/r/inconnu_receive_4_tmc_valves.html, originally
from the April-May 1920 issue of the French magazine, La Science et La Vie (
http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/bpt6k6545435n/f42.item.r=.zoom, go to p.
424 within the long article on "The Progress of TSF [Transmission sans Fil,
or wireless transmission] during the War" that starts on p. 413).  The set
in your mystery photo also doesn't seem to be on the Radiomuseum's page of
French military radios either:

Searches using my proprietary collection of multilingual search terms
didn't come close to finding your photo, so it's back in your court!

best, Alex
