Distributing Vintage Technology in the 50s wasn't that different from today, though it was more common to see smaller vans/lorries. Take a look at how these items were sent around the country - and the adverts on the sides extolling the virtues of their wares. |

See a large collection of vintage valve ephemera. Includes data booklets, catalogues, pictures of factories and valve boxes. Often thrown away when the next edition came out, these are fleeting artefacts of their day. |

An in-depth study of Ultra Electric Ltd from the 1920s to 1960s. Accompanied by plenty of adverts, product listings, brochures and catalogues. It is hard to believe that the High Definition 3D TVs descended from them. Vintage technology may look crude and primitive today but at the time it was state of the art. |
