Page history last edited by Alan Hartley-Smith 2 years ago

In 1922 the U.K. Government issued the first licence to a British broadcast station. The new station’s callsign was “2MT”, transmitting from a WW1 Army hut in Writtle. The first broadcast was made on 14th February 1922 by a team of Marconi engineers led by Captain Peter Eckersley. The broadcasts from Writtle were a great success and paved the way for the formation of the B.B.C later that same year.

To record the contribution that the companies that came together under the Marconi banner made to the history of electronics while those that had first hand experience of that contribution are still alive. In addition, to record the stories and anecdotes and sadly the obituaries of those people who supported that contribution.

The wiki format is chosen to allow the addition and modification of the text by suitably experienced contributors.

After a phase of initial preparation the site will be exposed to the public and to the search engines of the internet, thus disseminating the fascinating history of The Company to those who will appreciate it.
