Default Wearite tape recorder?

In the Dr Who episode last night ('The Doctor Dances') a tape recorder was used in the story (recording the responses of a patient in a hospital). Although this a rather anachronistic as the story was set in 1940/41, the recorder appeared to carry a Wearite badge. Did Wearite make tape recorders and how big was their involvement in this market? Certainly, from a technological point of view, the recorder shown last night looked ten years more advanced than the electronics available in 1941 (although in a show about time travel anything is possible!).
