USA Radio Schools

Dear USA Radiofriends,

 

From the fifties to sixties was usual one to see in technical magazines some USA Radio Schools by correspondence advertisements. I still have some of those magazines announcing: NATIONAL SCHOOLS ; HOLLYWOOD RADIO & TELEVISION INSTITUTE and HEMPHILL SCHOOLS .

 

I have their old addresses and also some lessons and kits from those two, first mentioned.

 

I know that, at least, there was another Radio School by correspondence: NATIONAL TECHNICAL SCHOOLS.  Julio Branco has one Radio Kit supplied by that School.

 

Unfortunately I got no old advertisements from this School, in several magazines consulted. I believe that, until now, there are no data available in Rmorg. I even thought that National Technical Schools was the National Schools second name, because is allowing that these two schools  had born in same date (1905). Now In Rmorg Manufacturer Page they are mixed together. I need to fix this misunderstanding.  

Does anybody know National Technical Schools? Do you know its old address?

 

Thanks in advance for your time.

Best Regards,

Mário Coelho

Dear Friends,

I got no answers yet about National Schools versus National Technical Schools.

Meanwhile I got some  National School's data, sent by friends, which I'd like to show you .

1- This  picture is a detail from a National Schools radio Kit dial:

.

2- Next picture was taken from a Spanish version of National Schools lessons by correspondence:

I'm wondering why logos are not equal . The School name is the same . Also is  its adress.... These two objects (Radio Kit and lesson) have nearly the same age.

About National Technical Schools, Julio told me that its logo is a globe.A picture is missing.

Have you any additional information to clarify this ? 

Thank you for any trail.

Dear Maitiu,

Thank you very much for your reply and also tank you for your recent e-mail.

I'm much obliged for your intention to meet Bart Lee. Maybe,he knows more about this matter.

I believe that's important to clarify  National Technical Schools and National Schools’ naming mixed up.

Dear Maitiu,

Thank you for your help. Yes, I sent all these logos to Bart.

Now I present to you one picture of National Schools building. This picture was taken from a 1950 February "Popular Mechanics" magazine, written in spanish language .

Unfortunately I could not yet be able to get any picture from National Technical Schools, in several magazines already consulted. How come?

How do I enter in CHRS site in order to write an article in its forum? Is it open for non members?

Best regards

hi mario, the fee is 30 dollars , but its not necessary for you to join , tell them your an rmorg person , and that will be sufficent , were well known to these guys over there , some of them are members of our organisation ,

bart as far as i can see looks after histrionics so it should be his baileywick , he tells me they have a library in that converted radio station in berkeley, [kre]. station long since closed down , there are a list of other officers on the page with email addresses you could also write to , good luck with it , and best regards , maitiu .

try contacting mike/webmaster at www.californiahistoricalradio.com  with your query ,maitiu
