| Summary: |
Marconi, Marconiphone etc.:
To avoid the existing mess in the literature (there are different, contradicting manuf.names given for the same model!), here are all Marconi products concentrated, regardles whether they were made under the name Marconi, Marconiphone, Marconi Wireless, Marconi Scientific Instruments, and so on.
Marconi; GB: Vertretung Schweiz: Hug & Co.; Basel + Zürich: - siehe auch His Master's Voice. Lautsprecher GV = Telion SA; Lausanne [3331451]. Thali bringt die Marken HMV und Marconi etwas durcheinander. Hier ist diese Einteilung dennoch belassen, damit Sie ein Schema wirklich finden.

| History: |
Initially Marconi Scientific Instruments, Soho, started to make receivers for the amateur market, but in 1922 the "Marconiphone" department was set up at Chelmsford. in 1925 it became "Marconiphone Co.Ltd.",who moved their headquarters to Sterling´s premises at Tottenham court Rd. Production was then mainly at Dagenham. Altogether there were about 1500 of Marconis Associated Companies!
Ref.: Geddes/Bussey, "The Setmakers".
Marconi Co. never produced Valves/Tubes: - see Marconi-Osram.
See Tyne, "Saga of the Vacuum Tube", page 372: "It cannot be emphasized too strongly that despite the markings on valves used by them, Marconi Co. never made valves." Here some details:
Until 1919 Edison Swan Electric Co. Ltd. (Brand Ediswan) produces mainly for Marconi. In 1919 Marconi and GEC are founding the Marconi-Osram Valve Co. Ltd. This company does not produce valves but does the engineering and designing.
From 1928 Ediswan, BTH and Metrovick join their activities in valves (tubes) and form the "Associated Electrical Industries (AEI) but Ediswan does the production for all three companies. In 1960 AEI and Thorn Electrical Industries Ltd. form the Thorn-AEI Radio Valves & Tubes Ltd. and by that the brand Brimar is merged too.

Dear FriendsI've here some models to upload from Marconiphone Co.(GB)By mistake they were uploded in Marconiphone USA.That's because only later I notice that there are more than one Marconiphone Co. It was not clear when I had to choose which one was the right one. Ex: In Rmorg we can see one Marconiphone (GB) with 0 models . Nevertheless we can go further by searching in Marconi manufacturers GB. Then we can see 193 Marconiphone GB models.Well, there are no adress. I've one: Marconiphone Co. , Ltd., Hayes, MIddlesex And ,why this is not presented as one manufacturer?What have I to do to add this information? Best regardsMário
