H. H. Scott, Inc.

It was founded in 1947 by Hermon Hosmer Scott in Cambridge, Massachusetts and moved to the nearby town of Maynard in 1957.

The company pioneered developments in noise suppression, tube output circuits, hifi mono and stereo amplifiers, tuners, FM multiplex, transistor receivers, FET RF sections, and integrated circuit IF sections.

[5] In 1977 Scott amplifiers made in the USA were sold in Switzerland and came with an astonishing (for the time) 3 year guarantee.

Its first product was the World's Record Super 8, a TRF (tuned radio frequency) design with typical harness wiring with 16 gauge silvered solid core copper wire employed in an array configuration that was typical to radios at the time.

This construction method, combined with fire-retardant shields remains the standard for high precision medical equipment such as those devices (MRI and CT scanners, primarily) that have high residual charges exceeding 63kv on peak (+/- 0.6 dB/33 dB drop).

This made for easy tuning through the band using inductive capacitance in the place of a more typical arrangement that would employ a box circuit using inductors phased in series across the TRF stages.

The company was also known as Scott Radio Laboratories, and went through many changes of ownership until its eventual merge with John Meck in the 1950s.
