I think that my uncle was involved with the glass area of tube manufacture rather than valves. There was a Mullard factory very close to me called Mullard Magnetic Components. I assume they were involved in making magnets for ion traps etc. You could actually hear it humming at times and smell a warm "electrical" smell coming from it. I think that they were very good employers, he was certainly happy there.
