The clock radio emerged in the 1940s, taking off in popularity the following decade when 30,000 were being mass-produced weekly in the USA.
This example dates from the early 1970s and features only AM reception, as Australia would not issue the first FM broadcast licences until 1975.
The National Film and Sound Archive of Australia acknowledges Australia’s Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we work and live and gives respect to their Elders both past and present.
