Rogers Batteryless Radio, The
In his factory on Chestnut Street, Edward S. "Ted" Rogers Sr., a Toronto radio engineer, devised the first radio that could use alternating current (AC) from a household electrical system rather than batteries. The convenience of the Rogers Batteryless Radio contributed significantly to the popularity of radio as a form of entertainment following its launch in 1925.
