English Marconiphone

Dear Friends

I'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 regards

Mário

Thank you Georg for your reply.

In my article I wrote that I had already found the way : "Nevertheless we can go further by searching in Marconi manufacturers GB".


My doubt is :  Why must be Marconi Co,(GB) ?
The model is Market by "Marconiphone Co Ltd." not by "Marconi Co".

Mario,

here "Marconi Co., GB (no tubes)" is the melting pot ;-)

" 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 Wireless Co. 1904
The Marconi Publishing Co. 1915
The Marconi Int.Code Co.Ltd. 1919
Marconi Scientific Instr. Co.Ltd. 1922
Marconi's Wireless Telegraph Co 1922
Marconiphone Co.Ltd. - London 1929
The Marconiphone Co.Ltd. 1930
(The Marconi Co.Ltd.-Chelmsford 1984)

http://www.classicwireless.btinternet.co.uk/marconib.htm :

"The first incarnation was as the Wireless Telegraph Co Ltd, Chelmsford from 1922. Between 1922 and 1929 the company traded as the Marconiphone Co. It then became the Gramophone Co Ltd of Hayes as part of the EMI group from 1931. By this time it was a name on the cabinet of a chassis also shared by the HMV company, who placed the same chassis into a their cabinet."

Hope that helps.

Kind Regards,
Georg

Hi Mario,
to Georges answer I have to add:

Please look and read
http://www.radiomuseum.org/dsp_hersteller_detail.cfm?company_id=6437

where I explained why we had chosen that solution (to concentrate everything under Marconi).
It is centainly not the easiest way, but the safest way to research and recover such models.
Thats our main concern.

If models are scattered around due to the careless naming policy of some manufacturers, ad and catalogue writers, dealers, agents, magazine writers and so on, it is a hell of a mess to put order in it. And nobody really can draw a complete picture of the dozens of Marconi branches, subsidiaries, connections,derivates and trade names.

Above mentioned address is also found in Hill, RadioRadio and well known, but it wont help here. It was a trading establishment, not the manufacturers address, as far as I know. But we can mention it of course at the manuf. page.

Anyway thanks to everybody.

Hi Mario,

Just make a change suggestion for Your a.m. models. For naming please refer to the existing listing.

Thank You,

Thank you for your explanations.


Ex:MARCONIPHONE T18DA
 
In this model I try to change (in suggest change) the manufacturer Marconi Co., GB (notubes)  to Marconiphone Co. , but no way.
Can you do it?
Anyway thanks

Gruss
