    We arranged various fun challenges to get everyone in the office involved for this excellent cause. Our challenges involved guessing how long a piece of string was, how many Portavolt Variable Transformers there were in a picture, and how many wrapped sweets there were in our C106 case.

    A historic Claude Lyons letter cover from 1946

    Ebay seller, Mt Woodson Sales, has listed an original 1946 cover from Claude Lyons Limited. The letter was sent from the business’ first address at 76 Old Hall Street, Liverpool.

     

    Claude Lyons, was in contact with many radio enthusiasts in the USA at the time, as the Americans were seen to be more advanced in new science.

     

    The letter cover is likely to be from one of these correspondences, addressed to Messrs. Radio Corporation of America.

     

    Lewis Lyons managed the original sales office at the time after Claude Lyons took charge of a new London office that they opened in 1930.

     

    Claude first set up an electronics business at the Liverpool address in 1918. The firm later became Claude Lyons Ltd in 1927, by which time Lewis was also management and a shareholder.

     

    To enquire about any Claude Lyons or Lyons Instruments items please contact one of our product specialists.

    Servicing a Claude Lyons TS Voltage Stabiliser that is 32 years young

    Our team recently went to service a Claude Lyons TS Voltage Stabiliser which has been in constant operation since 1989.

     

    After 32 years of use, this impressive unit required no new parts during its inspection (just the removal of a few cobwebs). It was designed and manufactured in the UK, just as they continue to be, and the condition of this unit is a testament to the build quality.

    Wind turbines create record breaking electricity following Storm Bella

    Record breaking electricity has been generated from wind turbines this Boxing Day as result of Storm Bella. Providing 50.7% of Great Britain’s electricity on the day, the 100mph winds exceeded previous records from August 21st this year. The electricity was also generated by 21.1% nuclear power and 14.6% fossil gas.

    The last decade has been described to have experienced a ‘renewables revolution’ by a Drax Electric Insights spokesperson and the news has further encouraged Government priorities for energy saving and sustainable energy.

    A Ten Point Plan for a Green Industrial revolution, introduced by the Government in November, pledged for every home in the UK to be powered by offshore wind, anticipating a surge in power produced reaching 40GW by 2030. On the list we were also presented with the Green Homes Grant scheme and new and advanced nuclear power.
