-
In 1934 the Marconi-EMI Television Company Ltd was formed bringing together the vision transmitter technologies of the Marconi Company with the television studio equipment and receiver technologies of the EMI Company. It was this company that provided the design and technology for Britain's television service using 405 lines and 25 frames/sec interlaced.
Transmissions commenced in November 1936 and continued until it was closed in the early 1980s. The HMV 900 was one of first television receivers designed by EMI and included a four band radio.
