The Crosley FM stereo system was an FM on FM system-as opposed to the
suppressed carrier AM on FM ystem we have now. It's one disadvantage was that
runing it meant that you had no space for SCAs-and since many FMs were running
SCAs at the time, the system we have now was selected.

I think this is another of your jokes. I wish you wouldn't interrupt a serious
discussion in this manner. Some folks might think that you are contributing in
a serious technical manner. For the unwashed, the "Powell Crosley" method of
stereo was two radios, sometimes in one box. The left channel was on AM and
the right channel was on FM. Of course this meant that AM only had half of the
performance and FM the other.
