"With hundreds of AC/DC radios & TV's only taking a half wave of each phase on a large circuit it must have upset the electric board a bit. What did they do about it?"
Even worse were those TVs that employed a thyristor power supply, the Philips G8 and the Bush A823 for example. It's bad enough only using the positive part of the AC mains supply but gets even worse when only a portion of the +ve waveform is used to supply the HT.
The Philips G11 improved matters somewhat because the bridge rectifier ensured both sides of the mains supply waveform was employed.
