RR
Radio Receptor Co. - this page is a stub

Radio Receptor Company Inc., or Radio Receptor Co., abbrebiated RR, was an American electronics manufacturer, founded in 1922 and headquartered in Brooklyn (New York, USA). Apart from domestic radios, RR also manufactured products for industry and the government, including the US Army and the Central Intelligence Agency (CIA). In 1957, the company was acquired by General Instruments Corp., but kept trading under its own name, at least until the late 1960s.
