...this, Bob Galvin skillfully built the broad diversification begun by his father. The company pioneered the transistor radio, now also manufactures auto alternators and ignitions, electronic speedometers, hi-fi consoles, and exotic semiconductors and solid state devices used to measure and control industrial operations. Last year it introduced a 23-in. rectangular color-TV tube, slimmer and more compact than previous round tubes; it expects to sell 100,000 this year, has jumped to third place in dollar volume of TV sales. "Once we identify ourselves with a field," says Galvin, "we make a determined effort to be dominant...

Crammed inside each electronic tooth are a transistor, an induction coil, two capacitors, a resistor and a hearing-aid battery- all miniaturized items developed by the Air Force. Once the radio denture is in place, the subject enters a Faraday cage, a metal-mesh enclosure that blocks out most outside electrical disturbances. As the subject chews and drinks...
