| Welcome
to the home page of the GR Historical Society. This site celebrates
the history and accomplishments of the General Radio
Company, one of America’s first equipment manufacturers for
the radio and electronics industry. Founded
in Cambridge, Massachusetts in 1915, GR provided the tools
and instruments that allowed the electronics industry
to burgeon into today’s giant that fills our lives with
radio, TV, computers, cell phones, DVDs and all the other electronic
products in our homes, businesses and automobiles. GR also
pioneered
methods for product development, quality manufacturing and
corporate responsibility that became the model for other companies
to follow. |
