Jackson-Bell cabinets

For three of the well known midget cabinets are design patents known (in Germany= "Gebrauchsmusterschutz"). See Attachment

Filed by Elmer W.Zwiebel, who worked for his brother Herb Bell, as some brothers did (maybe all of them).

Herb Bell, the co-founder of Jackson-Bell (and later Packard-Bell) was born as Herbert Anthony Zwiebel. Another brother was A.B.Zwebell (spelling!).

Gilfillan was involved insofar as Jackson-Bell had a production department in the Gilfillan factory at 1815 Venice Blvd., where the chassis were assembled.

Chassis were produced not only for Jackson-Bell, but also for a number of other contracting companies:
 - Advance Electric (Falck)
 - Breting
 - Cardinal Radio
 - Davison-Haynes (Angeles) for Montgomery Ward
 - Echophone
 - Flint
 - Keller-Fuller
 - Kemper
 - Packard-Bell
 - Patterson
 - Pierson De Lane
 - Shelley (Peter Pan)
 - Troy
