Collins Radio Company

[edwest4]

Alexander Lippisch is said to have worked for them. Did they actually make radios as well or was this just a cover? Was Collins Radio owned by someone else?

Any replies appreciated.

From wiki:

Arthur Collins founded Collins Radio Company in 1933 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa for the purpose of designing and producing shortwave radio equipment.

The company steadily grew, and captured the world's attention when Collins supplied the equipment to establish a communications link with the South Pole expedition of Rear Admiral Richard Byrd in 1933.
