[Premium-Rx] Shortwave receiver EN-R2, Intermarine Electronics Inc.

[Arthur Delibert]

Fred Osterman's book "Shortwave Receivers Past and Present lists an International Marine Radio Company, but it doesn't show an EN-R2 receiver model.  Says it was a subsidiary of Standard Telephones and Cables and the company's interests in the U.S. were controlled by ITT.
