I've seen it used in the US press (albiet magazines about old radios) so
I suspect it's from here in the US. If memory serves it's from a 5 tube
set (as near as I can tell, very like a chipset today) made by one or more
of the major tube manufacturers that had all the components for a simple,
inexpensive superhet radio.
