DESCRIPTION: This was the first integrated clock radio design by any manufacturer. Before this, alarm clocks did not have radio. Telechron invented this concept of an alarm clock that turned the radio on. It was such a good idea, that it basically is still in use today as a design concept. General Electric liked the idea so much they bought the Telechron company.
