A wide range of Radiak products, manufactured by Ashley Wireless Telephone Co., Ltd., of Liverpool, are also displayed on this stand, including wireless receiving apparatus.
The Radiak, 1 to 5-valve unit system, will make a great appeal on account of its simplicity and the easy way in which it is possible to add a unit at a time similar to the way one would add to a sectional bookcase. The Radiak 5 -valve complete unit will be found attractive because of its easy method of operation and adjustment.

History

Formed around 1922 as Electric/electronic component & radio manufacturers and distributors.[1]

They were sole agents for ATM-manufactured Claritone loudspeakers in the 1920s. [1]

In August 1924 Ashley Wireless Telephone Co. was voluntarily liquidated and the Ashley Wireless Telephone Co. (1925), Ltd. was formed to carry on the business.[3]

In 1935 the company changed its name to Ashley Accessories Ltd. and production moved to Ulverton, Cumbia.

They were one of the four principal makers of powdered iron cored tunning units under the brand Atmalloy in January 1936. [4]

Since 1998 Ashley is a part of the German Hager Group (Hager UK in Telford). Ashley still produces a full range of sockets, switches, lamp holders, and junction boxes.
