Does anyone have details of why Philco and Norman Bel Geddes parted ways after only one year of a five year contract the two had signed. The 1931 models he designed were so inovative and great looking, models 112, 112H, 370 & 212. The 112 was even chosen by the Metropolitan Museum of Art in their contemporary Industrial art exhibition in 1931.
I just submitted some photos of my model 112 to a architectual trade publication who is doing a piece on 1930's design. I think the 112 is a striking console, hope they include my pictures.
