radiograms

Messages via airwaves

Radiograms is the plural of radiogram, which has two distinct meanings.

A radiogram is a message transmitted by radio, especially in the era before widespread telephone communication: The ship received a radiogram warning of icebergs ahead.

Separately, a radiogram is a British term for a combined radio receiver and record player in a single cabinet—a piece of furniture common in mid-twentieth-century homes.
