LOL.
I don't think it would take much of a map to find Los
Angeles or New York City or any other major U.S. city.
Conelrad was sort of locking the barn door not only after
the horse was stolen but after horses weren't used any more.
Until about fifteen years ago you could still see where
one of the large stages at Warner Brothers was marked
"Lockheed Aircraft", a left over from WW-2. WB is a few
miles from the old Lockheed plant and looks sort of like it.
Conelrad belonged to the thinking of the same era.
