Motorola
Victrola was an internal horn machine, designed by Eldridge R. Johnson, which was later acquired by its Canadian counterpart, Berliner Gramophone of Canada in 1924. William (Bill) Lear and Elmer Wavering--both employees of Galvin Manufacturing Company--developed the first practical car radio, which was named "Motorola" by Paul Galvin (the name is a combination of "motor" and "Victrola"). Paul Galvin purchased the patents to the automotive radio and acquired the rights to their trade name "Motorola".
