MR1
Half-wave rectifier as used at The Marconi Works at Chelmsford in
1920 for experimental broadcasts by Dame Nellie Melba and later
on St. Valentine's Day, February 1922 by 'two emma toc'(2MT) the first
broadcasting station in the U.K., at Marconi's Research
Centre at Writtle. This transmitter is pictured at
The Science Museum, London and 2LO, London
is here. The example
above is early, as before 1930 Marconi were supplying the
valves with metal end caps. "2879" on the envelope is thought
to be a serial number rather than a batch code. If anyone is
familiar with Marconi or MWT coding for industrial valves
perhaps they can help.
