Seems like this is the sort of thing Hugo Gernsback would have picked up
and reported in his radio magazines.  He was always in close touch with
European developments.  I used to newsstand browse Radio-Craft back

but don't recall ever seeing anything along that line.  Anyone else
recall
anything or have access to files of those old magazines?
