No the company started way before radio was invented. They made things like commercial scales. The names are just last names of the early founders. They started making radios in 1934 after buying the Audiola company. Problems made them close shop for radio manufacturing in 1939, even though they developed a reputation for good quality radios. Their stint making TV's was short lived, making a set like the one featured quite an oddity. Think of who would choose a Fairbanks-Morse TV when their was great RCA's, Philco's, and Zenith's!
