Collins Radio Company |
The Collins Radio Company* was founded in 1932 by Arthur A. Collins* at Cedar Rapids, IA. It was famous for producing high quality transmitters for amateurs, the military and the broadcast industry. Under the Collins label also came some of the most popular consoles and cart machines used by radio stations.
In 1973, Collins Radio Co. was bought by Rockwell and moved to Dallas, TX, as Rockwell-Collins. On October 1, 1980, Rockwell spun the Collins Broadcast line off to Continental Electronics. (See also the CONTINENTAL ELECTRONICS page).
2002 - A new book on the life of Arthur Collins is now available.
