Before RCA Victor
Why are you reporting this puzzle?
The Victor Talking Machine Company was an American recording company and phonograph manufacturer, incorporated in 1901. Established in Camden, New Jersey, Victor was best known for its use of the iconic "His Master's Voice" trademark, the design, production and marketing of the popular "Victrola" line of phonographs and the company's extensive catalog of operatic and classical music recordings by world famous artists on the prestigious Red Seal label.
In 1929, the Radio Corporation of America (RCA) purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company, at that time the world's largest manufacturer of phonographs and phonograph records. The company then became the RCA Victor Division of RCA.
The RCA Corporation was a major American electronics company, which had been founded in 1919 as the Radio Corporation of America. It was initially a patent trust owned by General Electric (GE), Westinghouse, AT&T Corporation and United Fruit Company. In 1932, RCA became an independent company after the partners were required to divest their ownership as part of the settlement of a government antitrust suit. An innovative and progressive company, RCA was the dominant electronics and communications firm in the United States for over five decades. Among other achievements, the company created the first nationwide American radio network, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). But competition, foreign and domestic, brought hard times for the company, which today exists as a brand name only.
