HMV Radios

HMV Radios

HMV and Marconiphone were brand names used on radio and television sets manufactured in their factory at Hayes Middlesex from the 1930s onwards. The name HMV became synonymous with the highest quality; an HMV radiogram with a Garrard automatic record changer was regarded as the Rolls Royce of radio and carried a correspondingly high price tag. There were to be seen only in the homes of the upper middle class such as doctors and solicitors. They were also popular as a retirement present for long serving company executives.
