Engineering Laboratories Co., founded in Dayton, Ohio by Charles Kettering and Edward A. Deeds
in 1909. These tubes were used extensively in Automobile / Car radios. The Delco company made
all of GM's tubes for their radios. And of course GM stands for General Motors. If you are
wanting the perfectly restored car radio for your classic wheels, these tubes are what you want!
