I never quite understood the 'RCA Victor' re-badge. Inglis basically bought the rights to Whirlpool's designs and in the 50s and 60s produced appliances under the Inglis brand. I think the RCA Victor name appeared in the early 60s, but I can't be sure... It may have been some sort of a trademark thing - because of the Whirlpool agreement with Inglis, maybe it wasn't deemed appropriate to use the 'RCA Whirlpool' name on appliances. Pretty good guess, eh?? LOL

Why is the G backwards on the heat selector dial? |

and then became known as RCA Victor. RCA dropped the Victor part of the name in 1969. GE bopught RCA in 1986-87 to get its hands on NBC. Less than a year after purchasing RCA GE sold it off (less NBC) The RCA appliances I remember date from the early to mid 1990's. I would love to see any brochures anyone might have for Canadian RCA Victor appliances...that would be very cool. PAT COFFEY
