Hi Folks,

While trawling the net for other radio related stuff, I happened upon the BBC R&D department website. This has an archive of BBC white papers, covering all sorts of technical aspects of television and radio, and contains publications back to 1940.

While interesting in itself, I happened upon an item of direct Philco relevance, in which the FM section of the 48/482 AM/FM receiver was tested. 

The decade by decade archive starting point is available here:


https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/search?Type=Publications


And the Philco specific paper is here:

https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/publications/rdreport_1949_11

I hope this is of interest to the Phorum.

Cheers

Ed
