History: |
In July, 1922, the Mortimer Radio Company was incorporated and began advertising under the Melco name. By February, 1923, it introduced the Melco Supreme, using Telos Vario-Transformers. In May, 1923 Mortimer merged with Amsco (Advance Metal Stamping Company) owned by the Price brothers, attorneys who had acted for Mortimer in its incorporation. Westinghouse won a suit against Amsco, for infringement of the regeneration patent, in early 1925. The Price's sold out to the De Jur brothers in 1928, soon withdrawing from the DeJur-Amsco Company. |
