Under the term radio manufacturer, we also include producers, for example, of parts of radios, "radio-related equipment", etc. produced for companies or commercial radio. Manufacturers of old radios are as covered as completely as possible for the German-speaking countries, but only partially for other countries. There are thousands of radio manufacturers.

Radio Factories and Radio Production in Hungary Text of the member Sandor Selyem-Tóth, Hungary In 1917-18 the production of military radio transceiver (KLERA) started at the Telefongyár (Telephone Factory) with using electron tubes produced by Egyesült Izzó; but from 1925 radios produced in Izzó and in the manufacturing co-operation were put into circulation under TUNGSRAM brand. Manufacturing sets for non-military purpose started at Telefongyár in 1923 and till the middle of the 1930s sets were made on the basis of Telefunken licence. From the 1950s the factory also produced military telecommunicational sets again. The Hungarian interest of PHILIPS started manufacturing radios in 1931 and beside ORION it was one of the most significant manufacturer until the end of World War II. The Magyar Wolframlámpagyár (The Hungarian Wolfram Lamp Factory) appeared under ORION brand and began manufacturing in 1925 and it meant a determining productive capacity from the beginning of the 1930s. In the 30s it exported sets under Tungsram brand. The Standard Villamossági RT (interests of ITT in Hungary) which was formed from a department of Egyesült Izzó, was a determinant firm too. It did wage labour to more firms (EKA, Philips, Telefunken). Siemens has been present on the home market only from 1941 but till the end of the war it produced sets in great amount. Until 1950 these sets were put into circulation with VIKERT brand on them. It's important to mention the Néprádió (Public Radio) campaign, which was carried out by the collaboration of four factories (ORION, Philips, Telefunken and Standard) On the basis of prior assessment of demands more than 120 thousand of sets were claimed, but only 45 thousand pieces were made because printing sets wasn't a good deal. In great amount public radios were manufactured again from 1950. Most of the factories closed down or were transformed, or they changed their outline on the well-known political grounds. As a significant factory the Vadásztölténygyár, later as Videoton, can be mentioned from 1955 Beside the mentioned plants in the Golden Age at least 30 smaller or bigger factories, smaller enterprises were present on the market, some of them only for 1 or 2 years, but their radios can be found at the collectors. The most well-known ones were the following: Süss Nándor RT.    1900-1990 EKA (Engel Károly, a cég 1926-tól)    1934-1947 ERICSSON Magyar Villamossági RT    1924-1926 Astra Villamossági és Rádió Mûvek    1929-1931 Vatea    1930-1933 Rikert Rádió    1930-1932 BAPO (Barta és Társa)    1926-1938 Belgráder Rádió    1930-1941 B.J. (Bodnár Jenõ)    1931-1938 Reich Rádió (Reich Miklós)    1930-1932 SZIKSZ Rádió    1931-1933 Rádiócentrum (Miklós Dezsõ)    1933-1936 Rotand (Rotter Lóránd)    1933-1938 Phöbus Villamos Mûvek    1934-1938 AMRAD (Hidy és Társa)    1935-1936 ECHO (Vörös Rezsõ, Lamoth Emil)    1938-1948 Fénycsõ K.SZ.    1956-1957 Beloiannisz (BHG)    1955-1956 Finommechanikai Vállalat (Székesfehérvár)    1960-1966 Fõvárosi Finommechanikai Vállalat    1956-1957 Perfekt Rádió    1936-1937 Urner és Berkovits    1926-1927 RÁVA (Rádiótechnikai Vállalat)    1950-? I found an interesting document in the company brochure of „Tungsram”. On two separate photos you can clearly see that they are assembling and checking the equipment We 3B, that was manufactured between 1924-26. Unfortunately the editor added the text to one of them saying it shows telephone assembly, which is obviously erroneous. Next to the We 3B you can clearly see the antenna and the funnel speaker. Information about Hungarian Radio Hungary compared to its population has already given a lot of Nobel prize scientists to the world. Unfortunately we did not have any great people in connection with the radio like other nations, Popov, Marconi, Tesla, Lee de Forest and the others. But we have to mention Tivadar Puskás by all means, who put the first telephone exchange in the world into operation in Paris in April 1879, then in 1892 the "Telefonhírmondó" (a wired news and announcer apparatus) in Pest. There was another very important invention in 1892, it was Antal Pollák and József Virág's quick telegraphic apparatus, which was able to work at 100,000 word/hour data-transfer speed and it counted a great achievement compared to the level of that age. In connection with television many Hungarian scientists played an important role, but let's drop the matter, it's another story. Without being exhaustive I would like bring to mind some dates of events happened in Hungary in order to make it possible to every inquirer to be able to form a notion of technological history in Hungary: 1903. the first experiments with Slaby-system spark transmitter between Weiss Manfred and the Egyesült Izzólámpagyár in Csepel 1904-1906. experiments between the coast in Fiume and the moving station of "Előre" ("Forward") ship on the Adriatic 1914. a telegraphic station was put into operation in Csepel 1923. radiotelephone experiments with the 5kW telegraph transmitter 1923-24. experiments with the 250W Huth transmitter 1925. the 2kW Telefunken transmitter was installed (with 500W broadcasting operation) 1927. the 3kW Telefunken transmitter was installed (with 750W broadcasting operation) 1928. the Telefunken transmitter with 20kW broadcasting capacity was installed and on the 1st April the midday peal of bells was broadcast through the radio 1932-33. broadcasting relay stations were installed in Magyaróvár, Miskolc, Nyíregyháza and in Pécs 1933. installing the 120kW Lakihegy transmitter, a radio antenna was made, which was the highest in the world of that time, the height is: 314 m. 1957. the first FM broadcast was the newest event It's very instructive to look over the changes in the number of the radio subscribers, see as following: - in December 1925 17.072 subscribers - in December 1926 56.383 subscribers - in 1928. 162.000 subscribers, among these 105,000 pieces with detector - in 1931. 307.000 subscribers, among them 183,000 pieces with detector - in 1935. 352.902 subscribers - in 1940. 499.368 subscribers, among them 66,638 pieces with detector - in 1961. 2.002.500 subscribers, and 240,000 wired subscribers - in 1969. 2.531.000 subscribers To give you a foretaste here are some data about the development and strength of the Hungarian radio industry. In 1935 the radio set export got more than 50% from the electrical industry export, which was 31.5 million pengo In 1939 beside the radio set and component import - 984 thousand pengo - the export was 3,561,000 pengo. The success of the home electron tube manufacturing was more amazing, because in that year beside the imported 6,104 receiver and 105 transmitter tubes, 2,031,466 receiver and 2,126 transmitter were exported. World War II strongly retarded the production but from the middle of the 1950s it became an important export factor again. Manufactured Sets (pcs) Export (pcs) - 1956. 352.291 106.144 - 1957. 454.183 184.464 - 1958. 453.290 221.824 - 1959. 263.534 112.880 Of course, beside the level of the industry, the media and publishing of books that increase the knowledge of radio friends and inquirers was as high as all over in Europe. The most significant radio newspapers were the following: Magyar Rádió Újság (Hungarian Radio Newspaper) May1924 -1928. Rádió Amatőr (Radio Amateur) 1926- October 1930 Rádió és Fotó Amatőr (Radio and Photo Amateur) November 1930. - 1933. Rádió Technika (Radio Technology) March 1936. - August1948. augusztus (stopped between June 1944 to August 1947) Rádióvilág (Radio World) Jahuar 1946. - August 1948. Rádió és Filmtechnika (Radio and Film Technology) September 1948. - October 1951. Of course, Hungarians read foreign papers too and a good example for this is that among the 60 readers' letter in ÖRA, the Austrian amateur radio paper (no. 12/1927), 5 letters were Hungarian, and the question (about anode deputies) of a reader from Kaposvár was also published. Here I have to mention Károly Kemény , mechanical engineer's article (in the Rádió és Fotó Amatör no. December/1930, page 1. 2. 3. ) in which he drafted the idea of an amplifier part with illustrations, and was carried out by American scientists as a transistor in 1948. Finally I would like to offer some books and publications to those are interested: Jenő Mende: A drótnélküli telegráfia (1921) János Molnár: Gyakorlati Rádiókönyv (1926) János Molnár: Anódpotlók építése és kezelése (1929) A 10 éves Magyar Rádió (1935) István Horváth: Rádió Compass (1938 - 1943) Tungsram: Rádió Tanácsadó (1944) 15 év Standard rádió (1944) Rádió évkönyv (Tivadar Kiss as an editor 1947 - 1949) Géza Kádár: Rádiókészülékek kapcsolásai (1956) and any other books from him.

Radio Spare Parts and Other Trivia on Matchbox Labels December, 2006 I am presenting the second part of the matchbox label series thanks to my matchbox-collector friend, Sandor Bozoki. He put together a collection of matchboxes on which radios, radio spare parts and other related items are shown as advertisement. You can see the ads of the Remix factory, the labels of the 50-year-old ORION, the ad of MHSZ that used to be the association of radio amateurs, a promotion for the Radio Technology magazine and an ad for Tungsram’s lightbulbs, strip lighting and vacuum tube. I would love to hear from stamp collectors – we may find some interesting things on stamps as well.

Two Interesting Documents about the  Author of Hungarian Radio „Bible” Geza Kadar needs no introduction among Hungarian radio collectors but his popularity goes far beyond our borders. In our April edition Dénes B. Balás a collector from Kunszentmiklos made an excellent summary of his work, increasing the dismally low number of resources about our „Bible” author.  I am presenting two documents below that come from the bequest of Jozsef Kovacs radio- and TV repairman. At the same time many thanks to Istvan Sandl, a fellow collector, who saved these from perishing. One of the documents is from May 1964, in which he dedicated his book to a colleague in Zalaegerszeg, the other is a professional assistance provided on an issue important at the time – receiving Austrian TV channels. This letter is also dear to us since Geza Kadar also talks about personal stuff, so I believe it will be interesting for all of us. Among other things we can learn that he could only buy a car from a winning he made. May 2006, Zalaegerszeg Selyem Tóth Sándor

Who was the legendary Uncle Scherz? Ede Scherz  was born in Bratislava in 1879 and completed his elementary school there.  From 1906 he was the anchorman of the telephone news service, from 1925 of the Radio. At that time everybody knew him simply as Uncle Scherz. In his book he says that for the children he was simply Uncle „Sheys”. Around 1930 he got an illness that all singers and actors fear, problems arose with his vocal cords. Since he had some free time he published a book in 1931 entitled „The Humour of Radio”. I was able to acquire a copy, dedicated to a store owner in Jasszentlaszlo, Lajos Mezei. I am now able to share this book that includes Uncle Scherz’ handwriting.
