Remarks:
Atwater Kent was born in Vermont, educated in Massachusetts and operated�the world's largest radio factory in Pennsylvania. Some key dates: Birth 1873, First manufacturing 1896, Philadelphia move 1902, Ignition Systems 1907, First radio instruments 1921, Open set 1922, Mahogany box sets 1924, Metal box sets 1926, Superheterodynes 1930, His business was based on moderately priced consoles with a tolerance for high-quality table models. However, he did not accept the market for cheap sets and preferred to close down rather than compromise his name and reputation. In 1936 Kent closed the factory and moved to California where he spent a well earned retirement until his illness and death in 1949.
