Why were resistors put in bakelite blocks?
#12

We can thank (yeah, right) David Grimes for the RF units. Grimes joined Philco in 1934 and was immediately put in charge of home radio engineering and research.

I've often said...and wrote...that a fitting punishment for David Grimes would be for him to be sentenced to repairing 1937 and 1938 Philco sets with RF units for the rest of his life.
