"Scott . . . where innovation is a tradition."
"H.H. Scott has been a leading manufacturer
of superb high fidelity components since 1946. During this period Scott has been
responsible for the introduction of many new concepts in both the engineering and design
of components."
"H.H. Scott produced the first high fidelity amplifier (in the modern sense of
the term). Later, Scott eliminated unsightly wires and tubes by designing the first
"flat" amplifier.....bringing high fidelity components from the workshop to the
living room. Scott was the first manufacturer to introduce a successful Wide-Band FM
tuner, and Scott was first to deliver multiplex adapters and tuners which met the
requirements of today's FCC-approved (Zenith/GE) stereo transmission system. And Scott was
the first to produce modular tuner-amplifier combinations."
Important Scott industry "Firsts" . .
. . .From a Scott brochure -- circa, 1961
Also see the tribute to Daniel R. von
Recklinghausen, Chief Research Engineer.
