Museum of Yesterday. In most industries in the United States "Industrial Age," one or two companies always prevailed as the largest or the best in the field. For example, despite thousands of companies entering the electrical equipment manufacturing field, none have ever approached the prominence of General Electric or Westinghouse. In the radio manufacturing sector, names came and went from the the days of the crystal set, forward. The philosophy of success also changed with the times.

In the height of the Great Depression, Atwater- Kent dominated the field because that company sought to meet the need for a good quality, easy to use yet low cost radio for the home. Despite sounding like a fool- proof approach to radio marketing, Atwater- Kent literally put themselves out of business eventually because they built a radio that never broke down, hence the purchaser was seldom if ever a "return customer." While some manufactures realized this and thus took on a "planned obsolescence" mentality, one company refused to bow to that business ethic. Ernest Humphrey Scott (1. Scott was born in New Zealand, and he came to the United States after World War I. Settling in Chicago, Scott wrote newspaper columns on radio construction. Over the years, he had experimented with thousands of manufacturing methods and technological advances, which gave him a knowledge of radio far beyond the average designer. Scott designed a receiver in 1.
He proved this on a trip back to his native New Zealand where he established a dialog with several radio stations in the USA, proving that he could hear their broadcasts almost as local stations. By 1. 93. 5, Scott had established himself in the radio business as a builder of "custom built" receivers. His radios were recognized as superior to most brands and his customers included such critical listeners as Arturo Toscanini, Frank Lloyd Wright, Guy. Lombardo, Walter Winchell, Deems Taylor, Kirsten Flagstad, Jascha Heifetz, Eugene Ormandy, Enzio.

Pinza, Lily Pons, actor Robert Montgomery, among others. The 1. 93. 0s were the best production years for Scott's home receiver market, although his company developed war- time receivers which were purchased by military and shipping interests during World War II because of their low noise and radiation, which made their presence far less traceable by enemy RF scanners. Features of Scott's consumer radios included all chrome plated chassis and components, separate high- fidelity audio amplifiers, theatre grade speaker systems, and careful attention to quality construction, cabinetry, and durability. Like the Rolls- Royce of that era, the E. H. Scott radio was the finest that money could buy. In 1. 93. 5, at the height of the Great Depression, a Scott receiver sold for an unprecedented $2. By today's currency standards, that would amount to almost $4.
Following World War II, a Scott console home radio retailed for $1. Scott radios have been sold for upwards of $1. Unfortunately, after great success through the 1.
But not responding won’t fix the problem entirely, G-Dizzle. It’s just to keep from encouraging the bastard. Clearly your colleagues aren’t going to save you.

War Years, the company began a downward spiral in the late 1. By 1. 95. 0, Mr. Scott had been eased out of his leadership role in the company, and the later sets did not command the public respect that the earlier sets had. Problems were also experienced by customers who attempted to get local repairs, as many of the local service shops around the country, with which Mr. Scott had built relationships over the years, were now moving on to television service, and therefore gave up their exclusive arrangements with the new and more difficult management of the Scott Laboratories firm. It soon became apparent that there was a service and support void in many previously supported markets, which eventually lead to the company's demise.
Martin Shkreli Says He'll Still Make Money From Jail, Will Read Philosophy. Talking to Martin Shkreli is neither easy nor enjoyable. The “pharma bro,” who once jacked up the price of a life- saving drug from $1. But I managed to get a few questions answered over email during the past week.
And now that Shkreli has been sent to jail, it feels like a good time to share what I learned. I reached out to Martin Shkreli when he first published his now infamous Facebook post asking for some of Hillary Clinton’s hair.
It was this post, which he later labeled a “prank,” that got his bail revoked by the judge. And it’s the reason he’ll sit in jail until his sentencing in January of 2. I asked Shkreli what he wanted to do with the hair and whether he considered this to be assault. Shrkeli responded with irrelevant references to Peter Thiel, the man who bankrupted Gizmodo’s former parent company, and then told me over and over that he wanted my wife’s phone number, saying that I couldn’t “provide for her.”“I NEED THAT FUCKING HAIR. ALSO SPIT ILL TAKE SOME SPIT,” Shkreli wrote to me on September 5th about Hillary Clinton, without answering the question of what he wants it for. I pressed him in a follow- up. Shkreli’s response: killary clinton is the greatest threat to national security.
I ignored his trolling and finally started to get some insights into why he was so reckless while awaiting sentencing. He truly didn’t believe that he was going to be sent to prison.“I believe there will be no sentence of imprisonment. Please read the USSG and learn something about the law,” Shkreli wrote to me after I asked if he thought his bounty for Clinton’s hair would come up during sentencing. The USSG he was referring to is the United States Sentencing Commission Guidelines. I replied by asking if his sentencing date had been set yet. Shkreli’s response: no. LMAOalso are you in antifa?
I ignored his trolling and asked, “Have people told you what prison is like? Have you consulted with anyone on how to operate once inside?”Shkreli’s response: of course!
I pressed Shkreli on what he meant by life being nirvana under Trump. He replied that “trump is #1 A1 best president ever” and finally seemed to loosen up and said that if he really is sentenced “it will be a good opportunity to read and reflect and also i can make paper from inside.” But, of course, his email ended with his signature style: “NOW SET ME UP WITH DAT WIFE OF URS.”“Making paper” presumably means that he’d be making money, not a DIY papyrus- production class in prison, though I didn’t ask him to clarify. You never know. I responded by simply asking “What do you plan to read in prison?”Shkreli’s response: I think you are, once again, mistaken. You assert a proposition which isn’t certain.
Please think and rephrase. After playing childish games about rephrasing the question, I pressed him for a “top five” books he’d want to read in jail, and Shkreli finally answered. Sort of. Shkreli’s response: i would mostly read business reports from my companies and technical materials (medicine, computer science)i read a lot so i’m not sure ‘top 5' works. I then asked about the Wu Tang Clan album he had purchased for $2 million and was trying to sell on e. Bay. I asked whether he’d be able to bring it into prison if he hadn’t sold it yet.
I also asked if he had a plan for acquiring various forms of entertainment like music and books once he was on the inside. Shkreli replied that I should “get a grip on your liberal rage and educate yourself” and our back and forth pretty much devolved into him repeatedly insulting me and then me asking him whether he’d read anything from notorious conman and motivational speaker Napoleon Hill. By the end of the day Friday, Shkreli was clearly in deep shit over his Facebook post about Hillary Clinton.
The Secret Service had wasted resources looking into his $5,0. And that’s when Shkreli stopped replying to my emails. My last email to him was yesterday, before news broke that he’d been sent to jail.“Martin, How you feeling today? Still pretty confident you’re going to stay out of prison?
Do you have that list of five books yet?” I asked. Shkreli didn’t respond. I never did get to ask whether he’d be able to check email from jail. Martin, if you’re reading this, I’d still like to see that list.
And if you need book recommendations, Gizmodo readers can probably help you out. Just drop us a line. From jail. The place you swore you wouldn’t need to visit.
