Default Re: Television magazine 1932 33

A fascinating story there re your dad as a Radio, Radar TV pioneer. Most early TV books are rare almost by "definition" [pun intended]. It would be interesting to see what you can find. As you suggest, most people are usually casual about magazines but given the passage of time, even "cut outs" have a research value if not a financial one. It is a bit of an irony that Gaumont Studios became Lime Grove [dalekmoore post9*]. The establishment gave little support to Baird and when Lime Grove Studios itself was closed [1989] I was told that a fair amount of "skip diving" took place as reels of film/tape and all sorts generally, were dumped unceremoniously with scant regard to broadcasting history or anything else!
