Ergonomic 1938 Radio

1938NovPSThis young woman is now a centenarian, but in November 1938, she was shown in that month’s issue of Popular Science showing off the latest in ergonomic radio receivers. This pushbutton set (the brand name of which is not shown) could be used in two configurations. With the radio sitting on one side, the controls were handy to those who were seated. But tipped up, the radio was easily tuned by a person standing.
