BBC Engineering Division - Staff

The reduction was due to the transfer of some engineering staff to the Television, Radio and External Broadcasting Directorates.  (This web site is predominantly about Engineering Division, but the scope is intended to include all engineering activities relating to the BBC.)

The BBC Staff List for 1938 appears to list all staff (about 3900) and it provides a good indication of the place held by Engineering within the organisation at the time.  About a third of the BBC's staff were in Engineering Division and "CONTROLLER (ENGINEERING)" is listed third, under the D.G and D.D.G.
Pages from the 1938 Staff List can be seen by clicking the links below (I'm sorry about the poor quality, but the text is legible).  Information on the non-engineering parts of the BBC is outside the scope of bbceng, but it is included here in order to put the engineering information into context.
