Lots of interesting reading especially in "Engineering" sections http://www.americanradiohistory.com/index.htm

I especially liked this from 1925:

THE American radio public should thank its stars
that it is free from governmental abuses. Time
and time again, certain predatory interests have
attempted to usurp the sacred rights of the radio
listener -and each time they have failed. The most
recent evidence of radio selfishness comes with the
information that one company is attempting to get a
government license whereby it could broadcast for
private use only by means of a specially constructed set
that would-be the only one able to receive a certain
"high class" program. Naturally, the specially con-
structed set would be sold by the company interested -
at an exorbitant cost. This plan is but one of many
now being devised to limit the use of the ether to a
favored few; but the ever -watchful Department of
Commerce is suspicious of such attempts at air -
monopoly. When Congress opens this Winter, make
it your duty to see that your representative is warned
of the radio vultures that hover about him.
