That was one of Western Electric's first uses of a third-party supplier.
In this case, it was Ault Manufacturing.

The Ault transformer recall was HUGE.

There are still MANY Western Electric dial-light transformers in service

unplugged.



That is very easy to explain: "Rowan & Martin's Laugh-in" with Lilly

We don't care, we don't have to."
