"H" to "K"

This course builds upon the foundational knowledge of the various Rickenbacker logos, headstock shapes, and company name changes that you acquired during your undergraduate studies.

Let’s begin our discussion by examining a unique topic: the "H" spelling change from "Rickenbacher" to "Rickenbacker"; the older spelling is shown in these photos of a frying pan. Who would like to volunteer to explain to the class what we’re looking at here? What year did the spelling change? Bonus: why did they change the spelling?
