What a fabulous contribution to the
sound basis of the sound industry by
a very sound man. G-d bless the
Y's and may that dog always have better
hearing than you and I. Hear boy, hear
'boss'. You ain't heard nothing yet...
or as Jimmy Durante once said to me"
Do I need a car check?"...

Super site and so informative (this is my second comment) - I recently aquired a 1920s device called a 'GEC Home Broadcaster.' It has an earpiece, a dial OFF to MAX, a metal ring on top and a loop of wire like an aerial. The technicals consist of a coil (DRG.51858), battery terminals, input terminals in a steel base with stout brass work and a lovely rheostat, the earpiece contains granuals - I wondered if anyone could identify it please. Many thanks in advance. Best regards, Joseph.

Hello there. I found your website fascinating and informative. I also have a question. In 1923 a public address system was used at Stamford Bridge in Fulham to relay results to spectators during an athletics meeting.Do you think this represents a 'first' of any kind?Thanks.

Delighted to discover your website.
I've been around for many years as, initially, an APAE member (1972, I think). Also (then) a S.E.R.T.member for those who recall! (later became IIE, now IET) Lectured at University College, Salford for 10 yrs on Music Recording Technology before moving into Acoustics 'proper'.

This is a brilliant site, with tremendous photos and music which takes me back not-a-few years.
Trust the Moderators will forgive me, but I'm wondering if anybody has any info (wattage, etc)on Pamphonic 779A (100v)speakers, about 4 ft high and 5 inserts. For info, we still have a pair of these in use in our church, first installed 1963. Please email me at ehog6@aol.com. Many thanks.

Good to see the site is still flourishing since my last comment in 2005.
Does anyone know anything about a company from Norwich (I think) called E.A.W. Nolloth. I remember them providing PA for the Co-Operator fetes in Leiston in the late 50s/early 60s but know little about them.
Thanks. I will get to see the museum one day.

Intrigued to find this web site and I hope to visit the museum (my interest in PA is as applied to transport).

A most interesting site ! During my career I came across much of the equipment you depict. I began at Lime Grove in 1958 and ended at Pebble Mill 1990. Being "broadcast" chaps our attempts at PA were usually a bit basic. The best I recall was for studio audiences at Television Centre. We slung Pamphonic line source speakers - 8 off I think - over the unsuspecting public. Audience reaction was picked up using STC 4038's carefully positioned at the (hopefully) dead end of the line sources.
