Co. with headquarters at Pawtucket, R.I. George Goby is president, Ely Egnatoff, treasurer, H. H. Steinle, vice-president and general sales manager, and William Cepak, secretary. Officers of the company have long been associated with the tube industry. The new company will make, in addition to a standard line of radio tubes, photo-electrical cells. Distribution of the Triad line will be through franchised jobbers only." In 1935 Triad introduced a line of metal vacuum tubes with octal base in answer to the GE-RCA metal line.
