More About the Author
Product Description
Product Description
The radio has been part of home entertainment for over 75 years, and tens of thousands of different models have been designed, manufactured, enjoyed and then discarded as a new or improved model came on the scene. Generations have enjoyed their favourite programmes or have sat enthralled as some historic event unfolded through the radio's loudspeaker. This book describes the development of the radio (or the 'wireless' as it was more properly known in pre-war days) from the late Victorian era until the late 1960s, showing many rare and unusual sets once so familiar to listeners. A surprising number of early radios have survived - even those made before broadcasting got under way in the early 1920s and which would look more at home on the bench of a science laboratory than in the corner of a cosy lounge.
About the Author
Jonathan Hill was a founder member of the British Vintage Wireless Society, which was established in 1976 to encourage the preservation of early radio equipment and the study of broadcasting history.

Antique radio sets development,
By
This review is from: Old Radio Sets (Shire Library) (Paperback)
This small slim volume is well illustrated. Trying to cover the development of radio from the 1920s to the 1970s in 46 pages, it has useful information for new students in this field. It is not a comprehensive list of manufacturers or models.

my opinion,
By
This review is from: Old Radio Sets (Shire Library) (Paperback)
This is a small basic publication with little detail and is best suited for a childs introduction to the subject.
Not worth the postage cost.
