California was home to a number of manufacturers of communications receivers in the 1930's. Names such as Gillfillan Brothers, Patterson, Sargent and the Breting Radio Manufacturing Company in Los Angeles, California were some of the better known companies. Breting Radio was started by P.J. Breting. The chief engineer was Ray Gudie who also designed the Patterson receivers. Breting built receivers from 1935-1940. With the exception of the Breting 6, most were high end receivers with high tube counts, chrome chassis', crystal filters and many other features not available on Hallicrafters and National radios of the same vintage. All the Breting chassis' were manufactured in the Gillfillan plants.
