    O.T. ID this whopper

    I stumbled across this snippet in an old Popular Science today. Anyone know the rest of the story?

    It came from a 1940 issue. "Eastern manufacturer" seems to be the only other real clue.

    I assume the 500lbs includes the iron stand? Wonder if the driver supported the baffle?

    Hmmm... a 6" voice coil in 1940. Kinda renders the LH claim for the '48 D130 moot;

    "The 4" flat wire coil was the single most innovative feature of this design. It was the first low frequency driver to incorporate a coil of this large diameter."

    I dunno. Here's a "young" Gene Czerwinski (of C-V fame).

    I have a copy of the 6/40 Electronics article outlining its design/performance if that's what you're asking.
