In 1902 the started making tubes.Around 1922 the started selling radios in kit form under the name "King of the air" and "Melody Maker".

Radio cabinets were produced here.They were also one of the leading pioneers in valve development.During WW II the developed the radar reciever for the UK radar Defence system and the continued this ,with succes, after the war.
