Организация производства радиостанции Р-113 «Гранат» на Рязанском радиозаводе в 50-60-е гг. ХХ века

The study aims to analyse the fulfillment of the state defence order regarding mass production of the R-113 tank radio sets “Granat” at the Ryazan radio manufacturing plant. The paper sheds light on the process of production of complex radio technical apparatus. Considerable attention is paid to the technical re-equipment of the plant. The paper identifies and describes the characteristic features of sophistication of production, its mechanisation and automation. The work is novel in that it carries out a comprehensive analysis of the considered issue based on the introduction of new singular archival materials of both regional and union-republic significance into scientific use. As a result, the researcher has proved that despite the extremely difficult economic conditions, the authorities of the Ryazan region were able to organise mass production of the tank radio set and fulfill the defence order that ensured the state’s power and national security.

DRM과 DRM+ 기반의 AM/FM 디지털라디오 활용 연구

In this paper, the possibility and necessity of the digital broadcasting propulsion in AM and FM is presented based on DRM and DRM+ transmission modes, They are the members of series technological family in digital radio development. As the frequency utilization, the application of DRM+ is flexible in any mode such as IN-BAND or OUT-OF-BAND. When the digital audio broadcasting is planned at LOW-VHF bandwidth such as TV channel No.5 and NO.6 being adjacent to FM band and OUT-Of-BAND DRM+ technology is applied, there is no collision and jamming. Particularly, in the IN-BAND Hybrid mode, it is mentioned that there was the difficulty problem for multiple SFN transmitters uses. Not like the IN-BAND mode the OUT-OF-BAND mode lets multiple transmitters, because neighbor transmitters do not interfere each other. Digital transmitter can be combined with the existing FM transmitter. The intensity of power and size of area can be easily determined according to local broadcasters` condition. And the OUT-OF-BAND mode is advantageous for AM/FM integration in digital radio receiver manufacturing, which makes the conversion schedule much shorter.

THE COMMONWEALTH OF TELEVISION

As the Second World War closed, Electric and Musical Industries (EMI) thought it had a choice. Formed in the Depression by merging two great London-based record companies, the British music and consumer electronics giant had watched the music business collapse while radio broadcasting soared. A late and reluctant entrant into radio manufacturing, it capitalised on the introduction of electronics into musical recording in the 1920s to achieve technical success in the still newer medium of television. But although Marconi-EMI's system became the standard for the BBC's television service, EMI struggled to profit from the new technology. Four main issues are identified. First, EMI was right about the significance of electronics after the war but wrong about the company's capacity to capitalise on its own early technical achievement and Britain's pioneering status in TV broadcasting. Second, EMI was to some extent a victim of policy differences about television in the different parts of the Commonwealth. This was a striking contrast to the historic level of coordination in some areas of Empire/Commonwealth media policy. Third, the experience may have represented, in Brian Winston's terms, a ‘suppression of the radical potential’ of the new medium of television, but it may also have been a temporary delay that increased the scale of television's disruption to established media industries. Fourth, although EMI ended the war with an extraordinary portfolio of hardware and software interests, the synergies between them were easier to describe than to profit from. This highlights constraints on the capacity of even the most powerful corporations and individuals over the diffusion of media innovations across the world.

松下のラジオ事業進出と事業部制の形成

The aim of this paper is to analyze the process by which Matsushita Electric branched out into radio manufacturing in the first half of 1930s and the organizational reform the company undertook as a result. The originality of Matsushita's divisional restructuring of 1933 is well known, and it was the earliest one to take place in Japan.In 1930, Matsushita, which had succeeded in the electrical appliance industry, decided to expand into radio manufacturing. Its founder Kohnosuke Matsushita wished to produce trouble-free radio sets, which seemed a promising idea as the radio market at that time was flooded with inferior products.It was, however, not easy to make Matsushita's dream a reality. The resulting radios were too idealistic and consequently too expensive, and Matsushita's radio business showed a considerable deficit. It forced the company to reorganize its radio business on July 1933 by integrating the manufacturing and the sales sections.Following the reorganization, Matsushita was able to develop new models that were suitable to market needs, and its radio business expanded rapidly. Leaning from this success, Matsushita introduced its multidivisional structure on March 1934. It is clear that Matsushita's creation of a multidivisional structure was based on the same logic as that of Du Pont and GM in 1920-21 which were analyzed by A.D. Chandler.

Segmentation and gender occupational segregation within an industrial labor market: The radio manufacturing industry in philadelphia, 1926–1935

Industrial and occupational differentiation and gender occupational segregation are important bases of labor market segmentation. Case studies of labor markets of specific industries advance understanding of labor market segmentation and gender occupational segregation and their consequences. This paper, based on a reanalysis of work history data gathered by Palmer and Stoflet (1938), examines differentiation in the labor market of the radio manufacturing industry in Philadelphia from 1926 to 1935. The analysis suggests the existence of three distinct “submarkets” based upon occupational skill level and gender. Characteristics of each submarket are discussed. Additional findings and implications for further research are presented.

Differentiated Instruction in the Physics Technology Department of Secondary School No. 710, Moscow

The physics technology department of General Education Polytechnical School No. 710, in the city of Moscow, gives its pupils a complete secondary general and polytechnical education. It also gives vocational training. Here the pupils learn to be radio assemblers and mechanics, and by the time they finish school they can work at radio manufacturing plants, and in shops that build, repair and adjust all kinds of radio apparatus, in the physics laboratories of educational institutions and research institutes, in industrial laboratories, and in various industrial enterprises, where automation and electronics are widely used. This special training in electronics enables the pupils to acquire the profession of physics laboratory technician quickly, inasmuch as radio apparatus and electronic methods find the widest application in physics today.

The National Radio Exhibition

THE National Radio Exhibition, which was opened at Olympia on Sept. 18, occupies a floor space three times as large as last year and is now the largest radio exhibition in the world. The exhibition is organised by the British Radio Manufacturers' Association, and is arranged in such a well-planned manner that it cannot fail to be of interest to all broadcast listeners, whether technically minded or not. This exhibition definitely supports the idea which was becoming evident last year, that the radio manufacturing industry has passed through its somewhat uncertain experimental stage to that of steady development along trustworthy and well-established lines. The modern commercial radio receiver compared with its prototype of a year or two ago, which resembled an ill-assorted collection of components wired together in a box, is built somewhat on the lines of a car chassis.
