"He no sooner gets alone with a sweater girl than he's trying to pull the wool over her eyes." That's a really old joke that only old guys like me remember. "Sweater Girl" was a term used to describe... how to properly put it... um, you know, the Dolly Parton types... those who have a good singing voice Winking Smiley - RF Cafe. While that is not the purpose of a sweater girl overtly used in this article from a 1944 edition of Radio-Craft, you can bet the authors intended the term as an eye-catcher. I thought you might need to be apprised of the origin of the term to appreciate the title. You're welcome. See also this National Union Radio and Electronic Tubes advertisement in the October 1944 issue of Radio News magazine.

The photograph was taken in the Inspection Department of the Bendix Radio plant at Baltimore, and the radios are destined for our high-ceiling aircraft.
