Autocratic layman, seems to be who runs most corporations nowdays. One thing I do have to say I like about Brand Z is that they did seem to do better in the postwar years, considering how all radio designs went downhill once TV got going. Even that hit issues as everyone switched to circuit boards in the mid 50's and we have all heard the horror stories of those. Zenith stuck with a hand-wired, metal chassis in thier sets and at least the black and white sets seem fairly rugged and there is now worry of pulling the tube sockets out with the tubes! (A friend of mine just had this happen to a little set with the phelonic boards in it. Went to replace a tube and the board basically crumbled.)
