Utah Radio Products Co., Salt Lake City + Chicago, Ill. Known as manufacturer of loudspeakers, transmitters and transformers from the mid 1920's on. Address in 1930 was 1737 S. Michigan Ave., Chicago.

In 1929 Caswell-Runyan merged with Utah Radio Products Co., to build a radio reception combination.

Manufacturer of vibrators. (1937)

History:

1946 they merged with International Detrola Corp.

We received a picture from a guest of a paper tape tape recorder called "magictape by utah" which seems to be very early, perhaps late 1940s. The same term magictape is shown for Pyrox in Australia in December 1950 with a note that it comes from Armour Research foundation of Chicago, USA. At about the same time a Crestwood Recorder Corporation announces "MagicTape Equipment".

 

This manufacturer was suggested by Wolfgang Scheida.
