The efficient workbench shown here is an auto radio work station of Merle Radio Company, Plainfield, NJ, as shown on the cover of Radio-Electronics, May 1952.
Service was handled in a drive-in shop, part of a 35 x 90 foot overall space for the business. The owner of the shop had recently branched out in the radio industry, having purchased the local FM station, WXNJ, and had an AM application pending.
