CMC Radio Listings This is not an all encompassing list. Vacuum tube, radio related equipment which has been discovered to date is listed here. Some pre-vacuum tube era equipment has also found its way into the listings but there there are always exceptions to the rule. As other equipment is discovered, it will be added to this listing.
Does anyone know if Marconi had any system of assigning the acronyms for equipment model numbers? The assigned model numbers do not have any apparent logic. As an example why is there no 'T' in the model PV-500 transmitter and no 'R' in the MSL-5 receiver? Note that Canadian Marconi and Marconi UK were separate companies sharing Marconi's name.

PATENT YEARS ON NAMEPLATES
Some of the nameplates on Marconi equipment contain several patent dates. The rightmost year is the patent year of the device. Any dates to the left of it indicates that the equipment employs elements in the design that are protected by patents from other years. The earlier patents could be related to the method of winding an I.F. transformer, a specific circuit design, the composition of a carbon resistor or the plating on the chassis but definitely does not apply to the whole device.

TRANSMITTER/RECEIVER versus TRANSCEIVER
Sometimes the line between a receiver/transmitter and a transceiver is a blurry one. Typically a transmitter/receiver is packaged in a common enclosure and both devices share a common power supply. In the odd case, perhaps an audio amplifier stage might be shared. In a transceiver, the same circuits are shared for both reception and transmission and are fed with a common power supply. The ARRL stated that a Transceiver is a trade name coined to describe a combined transmitter-receiver as manufactured by the Chicago Radio Laboratory of Chicago, Illinois, around 1920.
