Fascinating stuff from 1937 to 1939.

A couple of the items seem a bit 'sticky'. They downloaded after a few tries. Notably #007.

The adverts in the last pages are very interesting! Anyone want an 8 room house in 4 acres for £600!

That really does put the £80-£100 for a telly into perspective!

Absolutely fasinating. I knew that broadcast times were very limited but I didn't realise how limited until I saw these. Seeing these makes me want to go out and get a vintage set...even though I don't have the expertise to restore it or the cash at the moment.

These make really interesting reading though. I have some copies of late 1930's Radio Times myself which are also similarly fasinating reading..particularly the adverts for radios and radiograms. Luckly for me my HMV 492 is featured in one and I was able to learn the original price this way.

Despite being post Baird shut down I had wondered if the cover photo on 12th Feb 1937 was 240 line. There is no sign of blanking which suggests either a long exposure or a synchronised shutter.
If it is a long exposure then I'd expect to see more than the 200 or so lines that appear to form the image.
