TELERAD

The 'Telerad' brand was introduced in NZ in around 1936.

'Telerad' branded equipment was manufactured by Telerad Manufacturing Co, they had various distributors. Currently there are 3 documented models.

Telerad radios appear to have been manufactured by Telerad Manufacturing Co, under the ownership of one Arthur Douglas Wylie in Palmerston North.  Mr Wylie appears to have been a little lax in his accounting practices and so while little is known of the company, there is a significant trail of debts and jail time in the public record.  See Telerad Manufacturing Co for more information.
