Quote:During World War II, medical, scientific, and technological research came on in leaps and bounds. Our predecessor, the General Post Office (GPO), played a huge part in the advances in the development of radio, sound recording, and code breaking equipment – including the Colossus machines, famously used at Bletchley Park.

Lots of BBC archive footage. Multiple search terms seem to be logically ORed together which isn't very helpful. Putting for example "Alexandra Palace" in quotes treats the words as a single term. Found a nice clip of a public visit to the newly opened Crystal Palace transmitter and another of the opening of a transmitter station at Belfast with what looks like a pair of CG1 transmitters.

This screencap from the Crystal Palace film would be unimaginable today.

They cover both the human and technical aspect of the pioneers.
The video linked is about the introduction of FM radio.

Its surprising how recent the invention of radio is, I was young when transistors were starting to be used. I never fully realised how short a time valves were used before that.

If you go into settings (Gear Wheel) you can get subtitles, he's been doing it for 30 years … Amazing he can paint so high into the neck.

When I'm trying to touch up a radio dial I will thinks of this fella. How he can do it holding the bottle in one hand and the brush in the other with no shake is amazing.
