Tannoy Products, Cantebury Grove, West Norwood, London S.E.27
[1937]
Tannoy specialised in the design of audio amplifiers, microphones
and loudspeakers. It is therefore a bit of a suprise to find that they also
produced a television. As far as I know, with the exception of this one model
they did not produce any other televisions or indeed radios.

An unusal feature is the set produces a 6KHz whistle when operating without
a signal being present, intended as an alarm in case the viewer had fallen
asleep (!). Also claimed to incorporate a special line/frame sync that required
no user adjustment. Demonstrated at the 1938 Radiolympia. Versions with
radio and possibly a gramaphone also available at extra cost. |

A Tannoy model, almost certainly the model 101, is described
in Wireless World magazine, 1st September 1938. |
