What drew my attention with this P.R. Mallory & Company advertisement appearing in a 1947 issue of Radio News magazine was not one of the actual electronic components for which they are most noted - potentiometers, capacitors, switches, metal alloys, and of course batteries (later renamed Duracell). Rather what interested me was the huge variety of standard potentiometer and rotary switch extension shafts Mallory manufactured. Unlike modern electronics where pots and switches are typically mounted to the enclosure with wires running to the circuit assembly, many older radios and televisions had all components mounted on a metal chassis with control extensions reaching to front-panel mounted dials and knobs. As an aside, Philip Rogers Mallory began his company manufacturing tungsten wire for lamps. Believe it or not, people are selling these vintage advertisements on eBay; well, at least they're trying to sell them.

Mallory Offers 12 Clutch Type Controls for
use in Auto Receivers
Mallory offers the widest range of resistance values in clutch type controls to fit every need. Four different values are available in the Universal Midget line (100M ohms, 250M ohms, 500M ohms, 1 megohm), and eight values in popular combinations of overall and tap resistances in our Tapped Midget line.
Add these to the Plug-In Shafts you see at the right, and you can replace original controls in any auto set you name - not merely replace them but duplicate them mechanically and electrically. Get the complete story from your Mallory distributor.

About RF Cafe RF Cafe began life in 1996 as "RF Tools" in an AOL screen name web space totaling 2 MB. Its primary purpose was to provide me with ready access to commonly needed formulas and reference material while performing my work as an RF system and circuit design engineer. The World Wide Web (Internet) was largely an unknown entity at the time and bandwidth was a scarce commodity. Dial-up modems blazed along at 14.4 kbps while tying up your telephone line, and a lady's voice announced "You've Got Mail" when a new message arrived... |
