• The Browning-Drake 5R was a factory built set from late 1926. It used the very successful Regenaformer circuit developed by Glenn Browning and Frederick Drake while they were at Harvard University in 1923 and engaged in research to increase the efficiency of radio frequency transformers. The model number 5R stood for 5 tubes and the R was for resistance coupled audio, sets without the R were transformer coupled audio. Tube lineup was RF 199, Detector 200A or 201A, 1st and 2nd Audio 201A, 3rd audio 171, 112 or 201A
