... that the International Radio Corporation introduced the first mass-produced AC/DC radio (pictured), first pocket radio, and first clock radio before spawning the Argus camera company?

Nice article! Definitely long enough, and newly created, with good references. I can see where the relevant reference mentions it having the first pocket radio (in [1]) and clock radio (near the start of [2]), but I can't spot where it says they made the first mass-produced AC/DC radio, can you point me in the right direction? Otherwise it looks good to go! Maybe File:1933 Kadette radio, made in Ann Arbor, Michigan, by International Radio Corp. (14917643774).jpg could be used to illustrate it? Thanks.

Sorry, that was an omission on my part; it is in the Mahon reference (which is a book source: "Mahon, Morgan E. (1990). "A Flick of the Switch 1930–1950". Antiques Electronics Supply: 100–1."). I have properly added it to the body of the article now. Sorry again for the inconvenience. Thanks also for taking the time to review this article! Michael Barera (talk) 00:36, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Note: I am adding a relevant image from the article, per Mike's suggestion. Michael Barera (talk) 00:43, 1 April 2015 (UTC)

Thanks for making the tweak, I think it's now good to go! Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 18:19, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
