(This was not the first attempt at a commercial long play record format, as Edison Records had marketed a microgroove vertically recorded disc with 20 minutes playing time per side the previous decade the Edison long-playing records were also a commercial failure.) Also in the Thirties, RCA sold the modernistic RCA Victor M Special, a polished aluminum portable record player designed by John Vassos. The system was withdrawn from the market after about a year. The format was a commercial failure at the height of the Great Depression, partly because the records and playback equipment were expensive, and partly because the audio performance was poor, and it would require the smaller-radius stylus of the microgroove system to make slower-speed records track acceptably. These had the standard groove size (the same width as the contemporary 78 rpm records), rather than the "microgroove" used in post-World War II 33 1/3 "Long Play" records. In 1931, RCA Victor began selling 33 1/3 rpm records. RCA began selling the first electronic turntable in 1930. RCA Victor produced many radio-phonographs and also created RCA Photophone, a sound-on-film system for sound films that competed with William Fox's sound-on-film Movietone and Warner Bros.' sound-on-disc Vitaphone. This Trademark is also the trademark for the British music & entertainment company HMV who now display Nipper in silhouette. With Victor, RCA acquired New World rights to the Nipper trademark. The new subsidiary then became RCA-Victor. This included a majority ownership of the Victor Company of Japan (JVC). In 1929, RCA purchased the Victor Talking Machine Company, then the world's largest manufacturer of phonographs (including the famous "Victrola") and phonograph records.
Westinghouse also marketed home radios through RCA until 1930 General Electric bought the American Marconi company and then incorporate what would be called the Radio Corporation of America.GE used RCA as its retail arm for radio sales from 1919, when GE began production, until 1930. The RCA trademark is used by Sony Music Entertainment and Technicolor, which licenses the name to other companies like Audiovox and TCL Corporation for products. RCA Corporation, founded as the Radio Corporation of America, was an American electronics company in existence from 1919 to 1986.
