Streamlining Norman Bel Geddes: 'Patriot', radio, model 400 and Fada 'bullet' streamliner model 115.
Emerson Patriot and Fada Bullet Radio
The Bullet and Patriot are typical examples of domestic radios designed and mass-produced in America during the 1930s.
They still seem very glamorous and modern in their appearance, and as such represent the progressive and utopian spirit of American industrial design as it developed in between the two World Wars.
Early radios were encased in wooden cabinets based on traditional furniture forms.
