This gorgeous catalogue surfaced while sorting piles of papers in the library at the Broadcast Engineering Museum. Great art deco style.
I've attached a low-ish resolution version of the scan of the front and back covers. I'll try to scan the rest soon. Models in the catalogue include the classic 256 https://www.radiomuseum.org/r/marconi_256_1.html
There's a slight mystery. The Broadcast Engineering Museum is home to the Yaxley Collection of historic public address equipment. We have many associated photos and documents too but AFAIK we haven't taken any of the documents up to our main archive and library area. So it's probably coincidence that somebody gave us this catalogue in among a pile of other papers. We know not who.
Ken Yaxley started his radio business in Norwich in 1930 and was one of the pioneers of public address in the UK.
Come and see the Yaxley Collection, along with our huge range of cameras, OB trucks, VTRs and much more on 14/15 September.
