Lenkurt Electric Company

Lenkurt Electric Company was a microwave and telecommunications company established by Lennart Erickson and Kurt Appert in 1944. In the first year they were based in San Francisco with 10 employees, but this grew to around 75 by 1947 when they moved to San Carlos, California.[1]


Unbuilt factory

In 1955 they engaged Frank Lloyd Wright, assisted by Aaron Green to build them new premises in San Carlos. However, the building was never built as Lenkurt were bought out by GTE.[2]
