Title: The radiola and the radiotron: localising global products in early radio broadcasting
Author(s): Given, Jock
Abstract: This paper explores some of the ways a wireless company remote from the major centres of the northern hemisphere both connected and distanced itself from their influences in the 1920s and 1930s. It is a study of the management of global industrial power—how it was harnessed to help dominate local markets, but resisted, to prevent competition. The globalization that characterized the world before 1914 may indeed have broken down in the inter-war years, but the paper shows that wide-ranging and dynamic relationships continued in the global wireless business.
