During Christmas 1929 holiday Winston Churchill initiated a national campaign on behalf of blind people.
Money as well as sets were donated to "The British Wireless for the Blind Fund", to supply blind listeners with wireless sets free of charge. Burne Jones produced under the "Magnum" brand several models with special markings in Braille.
Most probably all such radios were donated and never marketed. |
