History: |
The company was founded (possibly already in 1902) as General Acoustic Co., with Kelly Monroe Turner as President. General Acoustic produced Acousticon hearing devices and the Dictograph-Turner Telephone System. From these origins, they developed further Dictograph branded products such as the Motor Dictograph and the Detective Dictograph. Hearing aids and communication systems were continued throughout the 1930s and 1940s. In the 1930s there were a number of radios produced (modified or original FADA) that were marketed as "Silent Radios", which came with the Acousticon Mystic Ear (bone-conduction under-the-pillow speaker). |
