Resistor prices and inflation

[Amie]

Welwyn doesn't sound right, but there was a Welwyn brand of resistor - mainly wirewound, from memory.

Probably muddled the location, definitely Erie brand.... Good old Yarms eh! I thought it was an American company with a factory in London, and reading your link it was before WW2, (now I have my history to go with the components).

What's so amusing about 4 figure telephone numbers?

Conjures up mental images of all the old films I love, where the lady in the evening gown with the terribly proper accent picks up the phone and asks to be connected with Whitehall 1212.


Thanks,
Amie.
