History: |
correct Name(s):
initially"The Federal Telegraph Company of California" changed its name to "Federal Brandes" after acquisition of Brandes 1922 (since there was another company called Federal making Radios: Federal T&T of Buffalo, no relation). Kolster was used already as Brand Name by Federal ("Kolster Radio, a Product of Federal-Brandes,Inc"). In 1928 this Company was renamed in "Kolster Radio Corporation of America". The combined Name Kolster-Brandes was not in use officially in USA, but in UK the British branch got that name in 1928. Ref.: Alan Douglas, Radio Manuf.of the 20s Geddes/Bussey, The Setmakers korrekte Firmenbezeichnung(en):
zunächst"The Federal Telegraph Company of California", änderte man auf"Federal Brandes" nach Übernahme der kanadischen Firma Brandes 1922 (Es gab schon eine andere Radiofirma gleichen Namens: Federal T&T of Buffalo. Die beiden Firmen hatten nichts miteinander zu tun!). Der Name Kolster fand aber schon als Marke Verwendung: "Kolster Radio, a Product of Federal-Brandes,Inc"stand in Werbeanzeigen. 1928 erfolgte die Umbenennung in"Kolster Radio Corporation of America" Der kombinierte Name "Kolster-Brandes" galt offiziell nur für den britischen Ableger ab 1928, nicht für die US-Firma.
