October 17th: The Radio Corporation of America (RCA) Was Founded
#OnThisDay in 1919, the Radio Corporation of America was founded. The company would go on to be one of the largest electronics giants in America, heading both the rise of the radio and the television. Although they were a major player for over half a century, RCA fell into financial troubles in the 1970's, and the company had almost all of their assets sold off in 1986.

RCA - The 1920s
RCA was the largest and most influential company in radio history. Though it had its name on many of the most popular radios in the 1920s, the truth is, it didn't build a single radio during that time. I hope you'll enjoy this dive into the early days of RCA.

Rare Vintage Film shows the RCA Model 501 COMPUTER of 1959 at U.S. Air Force Air Reserve Records Center. The ARRC or Air Reserve Records Center, was located at 3800 York Street, Denver, Colorado. The RCA 501 Computer was a general purpose, mid to large scale computer, used for maintenance of personnel data on USAF reservists, statistical reports, controlling military reserve staff requirements and allocation of skills in the event of mobilization, preparation and control of questionnaires sent to individual reservists and preparation of mailing labels for periodicals, preparation of rosters for personnel assignment control, and determination of those eligible for discharge and preparation of applicable discharge certificates.
This unique vintage film from the 1959 to early 1960's, shows rare footage of the staff using the 501 as the narrator describes its functions and advantages. Full color, runs about 18 mins.
{RCA was the "Radio Corporation of America," an American company in existence from 1919 to 1986. At one time, it was the largest radio communications firm in the United States. RCA also produced the BIZMAC large scale vacuum tube computer, the RCA 301 and RCA 601 computers, and the later "Spectra" line. RCA sold its large computer division to Sperry Rand in 1971, due to competition from IBM.}
The 501 was designed by industrial designer John Vassos, who employed a modular design strategy, framing the computer and its components as a system and not as individual units. This design became highly successful. The 501 used high-speed magnetic-core memory, expandable from 16k to 260k characters. An optional drum memory unit could provide up to 1.5 million characters of storage. Up to 63 magnetic tape units could be installed.
RCA 501 COMPUTER INSTALLATIONS included the following by 1961:
U. S. Naval Propellant Plant, Indian Head, Maryland
Scott Air Force Base, Illinois
Air Reserve Records Center, York Street Denver, Colorado
Ordnance Weapons Command Rock Island, Illinois
Ordnance Ammunition Command Joliet, Illinois
Atlantic City Electric Company, New Jersey, EDPD

The RCA Corporation was a major American electronics company, which was founded as the Radio Corporation of America in 1919. 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. RCA was at the forefront of the mushrooming radio industry in the early 1920s, as a major manufacturer of radio receivers, and the exclusive manufacturer of the first superheterodyne sets.
RCA also created the first nationwide American radio network, the National Broadcasting Company (NBC). The company was also a pioneer in the introduction and development of television, both black and white and especially color television.
During this period, RCA was closely identified with the leadership of David Sarnoff. He became general manager at the company's founding, served as president from 1930 to 1965, and remained active as chairman of the board until the end of 1969.
