Footnote
Note: To face the challenges of the changing market in design in the early 1930s Gordon Russell suggested that his youngest brother R.D. (Dick) Russell should train as an architect. Once he had qualified Dick returned to Broadway, at which point Gordon Russell relinquished his role as designer, passing the mantle to his brother and a team of designers including David Booth and Eden Minns who had trained with Dick as an architect. Minns went on to design radio cabinets for Murphy, with whom he later took up the position of Head of Cabinet Design.
