Innovation was demanded by Art Collins in every product emerging from his electronic laboratories, whether it was a revolutionary new aircraft flight director like the one shown here or the latest in a ham transmitter.
Amateur radio was very dear and very special to Art. He wrote the following copy for a Collins Radio ad in the 1930's:
"We derive a lot of pleasure from our work, mainly because we are dyed-in-the-wool hams ourselves! And there is great satisfaction in receiving countless letters from users in all parts of the earth telling us they never knew what real hamming was until they installed Collins equipment. Such response gives us a genuine thrill and we feel amply compensated for the labor put forth in developing Collins equipment to it's present and high state of efficiency and dependability"
