History:

From Wikipedia (2014):

The National Radio Institute was founded by James E. Smith, a high school teacher, in Washington, D.C., in 1914.

McGraw-Hill purchased NRI and the correspondence division of Capitol Radio Engineering Institute in 1968. The school was renamed NRI Schools, McGraw-Hill Continuing education center. James E. Smith remained as NRI chairman until his death in 1973. James' son, J Morrison Smith, succeeded as president, retiring in 1976. McGraw-Hill announced in 1999 that it would phase out NRI Schools, citing "changes in the marketplace". They ceased operation on March 31, 2002.

This manufacturer was suggested by Wolfgang Scheida.
