MULLARD

Century House, Shaftesbury Avenue, London W.C.2

Mullard apparently displayed a laboratory demonstration television at the 1938 Radiolympia, incorporating their own fifteen inch magnetically deflected C.R.T., type MW39-3. Like the television, the C.R.T. does not seem to have entered production.

The following year Mullard returned to Radiolympia with two commercial televisions. The show took place in the second half of August, the show finishing prematurely due to the outbreak of World War 2. I can find no mention of any earlier Mullard televisions and the two that were displayed at Radioympia may not have entered production.
