This ad for Connecticut Telephone & Electric Division appeared in the January 1945 edition of Radio News. The company, as the name suggests, manufactured communications equipment, but as the name does not necessarily suggest, it also made radios and accessories. The Radio Museum website has a collection of photos and specifications about some of the equipment, such as the Vacuum Tube Detector Set Type DT-3 and Sodion DR6 single-tube receiver. Connecticut Telephone & Electric Division began operations at the dawn of the wireless communications age and produced a lot of materiel for the armed forces in World War II. Some of the vintage Connecticut Telephone & Electric Division components appear occasionally on eBay.

... Hardly had man learned to fly than he began to feel the urgency of the need to communicate between ground and plane.

Radio headsets are one of C. T. & E. Division's contributions to aviation communications in World War II.

One of the first successful attempts in such two-way contact was accomplished with equipment designed and manufactured by Connecticut Telephone & Electric.

Since the early days of the telephone, our people have been identified with progress in communications. Today the principles of communications have applications of the greatest importance to industry, in connection with product development and production control.

Our developmental engineers also have much to offer to industrial executives seeking to produce a better product at lower cost. If our engineering and production facilities might tie in with your plans, we shall be happy indeed to talk with you.
