>> Cab someone enlighten me, please? There's an entry in Carrie's diary (Aug. 13 1927) as follows: "Rud greatly enjoys his Rolls wireless and the excellent music he has in the evening". I assume that Rolls was the name of the manufacturer, and my guess is that it was an American firm. Frank Doubleday ('Effendi') had given the Kiplings a "wireless set with no outdoor connections" the previous year (Carrie's diary, June 16, 1926), which I take to mean that it did not require the large oudoor aerial which most sets required in those early days of voice radio.
>> Does anyone know if Rolls, Inc (or something like it) was a known maker of radio sets in those days? - Google is unable to help, although it does name two corporations in the electronics business - but one dates from the 1960s and the other from 1989.
