C. D. Tuska Company
1920 - 1925
Radio pioneer Clarence D. Tuska, the co-founder of the American Radio Relay League and the first editor of QST, was the founder and president of C.D. Tuska Company of Hartford, Connecticut. The firm was established in 1920, although advertisements in the early 1920s claimed "TUSKA / RADIO/ Established 1911."
According to a 1923 advertisement: "Tuska sets are built under the personal direction of C. D. Tuska, a nationally known radio pioneer and builder of fine apparatus. For a dozen years Mr. Tuska has been keenly critical of all radio parts and sets bearing his name. As a result, the Tuska seal is recognized as a guarantee of the most thorough New England craftsmanship - and there is no better."
In 1925, the Tuska firm was acquired by Atwater Kent.
