I found another radio on Craig's list in Dallas area that is a GE model L916 and there is a photograph of a rotating antenna in it that looks suspiciously like the one on the 1940 Philco 40-195/200/201. You can see what looks like electrostatic shield wires underneath the paper outer covering. Philco may have prodded GE to add this feature to compete. I don't have enough data on the unit to be sure.
