• Notes

• The Rogers Batteryless Radio {manufactured in Canada by the Standard Radio Mfg Corp, later Rogers, Rogers-Majestic] has the distinction of being the very FIRST radio to be run entirely from "light socket power" as they called AC back in 1925. The Rogers model 100 was the first set to eliminate batteries.

  This Rogers Batteryless model, the 420 is a more refined and elegant version offered to the rich and famous who could afford it, in 1929 (not 1928, due to tube 45!). It uses four of the Rogers type AC-32 tubes [forerunner to the more recognized Kellogg 401 tube]. The other tubes in the lineup are an 80 in the power supply and a 45 output tube.
  The heater, B and C voltages are provided by a separate chassis power source. The tube 15_Rogers mentioned in RCC schematic is probably a typo of the 45. The tube 45 was on the market 1929 and later.
