WIRELESS

Hey Wayne, Thank you so much for your clear explanation of the tire construction in the teens & 20's. I had never thought there were red, green, blue sidewall tires- I can see how they are rare today and would make excellent wallpaper in your display room. I had no idea that the hump roof Model T was that scarce, I'm happy to share this image with the early car collectors. Kurtruk- Thank you for you kind comment, I plan on blowing the image up and placing it on display in our 1920's Radio Store at the museum. Lee- I would have called it a Radiola 25 if there was a loop antenna, but there only appears to be an escutcheon painted on the side panel, the knob layout as you mentioned reflects a Radiola 25. Hi Larry, I believe we may have met years ago at the AWA Conference or at Kutztown, your name is familiar. Thanks for all the help guys-- you have a great group of knowledgeable collectors here.

Hi Wayne, Thank you so much for the additional info... now we can narrow down the build date of the delivery truck. The roof line is interesting, I bet there are not many examples of the hump roof model still around. Many of our members are also owners of early automobiles, so this info will be of interest to many. One of our late members, John Caperton III from Louisville had 15 brass era autos in his garage. All the Best, Jim Kreuzer

Hi Layden, Thank you very much for your kind response, I had never heard of a "Coupelet" before- now I have a new word to throw around at the museum! Is the front tire a whitewall? l didn't know they were producing whitewall tires back in the teens. All the Best, Jim Kreuzer

Hi auto enthusiasts, you have helped me in the past & I hope you can help me again. I need some help in trying to identify the delivery truck in this photo. I have been told it might be a Ford Model T, but I'm not sure if that is the case. Does anyone know the make and year of this short bed - and whether it was a special order or was it a stock item with such a small bed? The radio displayed on the side panel is a Radiola 20, which was manufactured in 1925. Thank you in advance for any help you might give me.

Members 10 Hi Everyone, you have helped me in the past & I hope you can help me again. We are writing an article to explain the history and background of this image depicting an early use of wireless (Radio) to help delivering bread to the everyday housewife (!) I can read the nameplate Autocar Co. on the side of the truck and the bread delivery service seems to be located in Philadelphia - I believe it was taken in 1922, but I wonder what year and model the truck is ? Does the wheelbase seem short, or were most bakery trucks designed like this? Thank you in advance for any help! Regards, Jim Kreuzer N2GHD AWA Museum (Antique Wireless Association)

Thanks JukeJunkie.... I used to collect & restore early juke boxes! Happy Holidays! Jim

Hi Guys, Thank you for your help.... I would like to get this right, so is this a Dodge Bros. DH6 or a 1926 Semmes Motor truck? Thank you for your help! Jim

Hi Everyone, you have helped me in the past & I hope you can help me again. We are writing an article on the history of Stromberg-Carlson Radio Co. and I came across this image - I believe it was taken around 1933, but I wonder what make & year the truck is ? Thank you in advance for any help! Regards, Jim Kreuzer AWA Museum (Antique Wireless Association)

Craig, Thank you very much for identifying them as Daimlers... that gives me a great place to start. Spinney, Thank you as well for all your info, all those bits point to it as being 1914 or later I guess- pretty early in WWI. This website is a great resource, your members should be proud. - This is great info! Best Regards, Jim Kreuzer

Hi Everyone, you have helped me in the past & I hope you can help me again. We are giving a program on the history of wireless telegraphy during World War I and I came across this image - I believe it was taken in Belgium, but I wonder what make & year the trucks are? Thank you in advance for any help! Regards, Jim Kreuzer AWA Museum

Dave Mellor, I like the sleek look of the ragtop!! Thank you for your help!

Hey NZ, thank you for your great observation- that fits in with the timeline! 28 Chrysler... Great looking battery, I've seen European batteries that looked like that, but it's the first I have seen in the USA. I have a 1898 German Coherer receiver that uses 2 of those for the coherer relay circuit. I strictly collect & restore early radio (wireless) apparatus from 1920 and earlier. Thanks for your help guys, this is a great forum! 73, Jim Kreuzer N2GHD

WoW...nzcarnerd --- That was quick! Thank you very much for your help, this information will complete the caption needed to accurately describe the scene, which I believe was in or around Boston, Mass.. Do any of the other vehicles in the background help indicate what year this image was taken? 1922 ? 1923 ? 1924 ? Any other help would be appreciated! This is a really helpful site-- we are lucky to have access to such a wealth of information from knowledgeable members. All the Best, Jim

I forgot to add that the radio apparatus dates from around 1923.

Can anybody tell me what the make, model & year of this touring car? I found an old glass slide, 4" x 5" that shows an attractive young lady in the back seat listening to an old breadboard radio with an early loop antenna. We would like to use this in our Antique radio journal and it would be great if I could identify the year & make of the car. Thank you in advance for any help you can provide. Jim K. - Librarian
