Marconi museum collection

[CLIVE COLLINS]

Good morning Gentlemen,

 

In a trawl around the network last evening In search of information on Franklin Oscillators, I happened accross the site for the "Maconi Collection" presently housed in Oxford UK.

 

It makes for some interesting reading always assuming that you can accept the gross errors in a lot of the descriptions (like item 70075 which is a film production lighting lamp and NOT a radio tube!) and the overall descriptions of tubes with "steel pins" and "one pin missing"

 

The address is www.mhs.ox.ac.uk/marconi/collection

 

 

I feel sure that many of you reading will be familiar with a number of the items shown in the list.

All good wishes,
