• How many of you remember the company newsletter Collins Column ?
• First published in May 1943, it was used to communicate with Collins Radio Co. employees called into military service during the war.
• Monthly issues were filled with day-to-day plant happenings, photos, sports scores, and personals written to boost the morale of the distant recipient.
