The Western Electric iHorn is made from a Western Electric 518-W large horn loudspeaker, which was made in 1922. It is large and in charge. In 1907/08 the laboratories of the 'American Telegraph and Telephone Co.' (AT&T) in Boston and the 'Western Electric Company Inc.' in New York and Chicago was decided to be consolidated into the New York building of the 'Western Electric Company Inc.' on the corner Bethune Street/West Street. Both laboratories was supervised by the 'Western Electric Company Inc.', but both of the companies remained individual in commercial, development and patent activities. Western Electric electrified the home through diversity. Its advertising in the early 1920s reflected that diversity from toasters to telephones – Western Electric was your one stop modernization stop, moving the household into part of the industrial revolution. The Western Electric iHorn is a grand example of that revolution. Today its smart houses, smart cars, and smart phones. Tomorrow – who and what else will be smart? The choice to bring the Western Electric iHorn home demonstrates that you are cutting edge.
