Admiral Chicago Plant Photos?

[JacobK]

That's what I've been trying to figure out. So far I'm guessing they were tossed - I've reached out to the foundation of the founder (Siragusa), the company currently using the Admiral name and others and nobody seems to know what happened to them. I'll keep searching though!

I took the liberty of isolating the factory photo. Also, I wonder if the Continental Radio/Admiral archives were just tossed or went to a university or other place?

Same thing with the Portsmouth GE plant. I've never seen a photo - just a line drawing on some projection TV promo literature...

I ain't lookin - just commenting.

JacobK,
I grew up in Chicago, and I can remember they used to fly a Blimp/ airship over the city for mapping purposes. There maybe aerial photos in existence, they would have been taken in the 70's or early 80's. One of my relatives worked at the plant on Courtland in the 40's thru the 60's. Sorry I don't have any pictures.
