News:
This website includes over 3000 PDF document files and the majority were scanned and contributed by Nick Cutmore. I am very sorry to report that he will not be contributing any more as he died on 9 October 2024 at the age of 69, as a result of cancer.
The "Droitwich Calling" display in the Radio Room at Droitwich Heritage Centre was set up by John Phillips some years ago and it includes several important items of BBC engineering memorabilia (1930s-vintage dual gramophone desk, OBA/8, comms bay, transmitter valves and control desk etc.). As the result or a recent grant, various improvements are due to be made at the Heritage Centre and items in the Radio Room are due to be displayed in a more prominent way. However it seems that some items may be moved to storage in Worcester.
I visited the Broadcast Engineering Museum on 15th September and was very impressed. A huge amount of equipment and documentation is now held by the museum and it was very pleasing to see the results of on-going conservation. In due course I will add more about the BEM to BBCeng.
