Hi Adrian
I was intrigued by this radio and did some research on it too. Preston is pretty local to me as well but I didn't go for it in the end as a) I really don't have room and b) transporting it would have been a faff for me.
Having looked on Google Earth I notice that their address in Blackburn appears to still exist as the address showing here https://worldradiohistory.com/hd2/IDX-UK...IDX-48.pdf would appear to be the corner of Mincing Lane and Mill Lane (the buildings look old enough). If you are in Blackburn you will know the area better than I.
The television that the company produced certainly looks interesting https://www.scienceandsociety.co.uk/resu...cturing+co
It is possible that the main library in Blackburn may hold some documentation regarding the company or, maybe, a local museum? For now it appears to be an obscure and likely short-lived company.
Regards
Adam
