    You'd have to wonder at the connection between the Radio Station and the trophy on the board? He seems very proud of it and is obviously being very protective.

    A hero. Maybe more people could have died if the Titanic had not used its Marconi transmitter and who knows how many countless others were saved in the decades afterwards.

    Mullard Limited was a British manufacturer of electronic components. The Mullard Radio Valve Co. Ltd. of Southfields, London, was founded in 1920 by Captain Stanley R. Mullard, who had previously designed thermionic valves for the Admiralty before becoming managing director of the Z Electric Lamp Co.

    The Mullard factory in Blackburn was once the largest manufacturer of valves in Europe, with production peaking in the 1960s. As valves were replaced by transistors, the site began making cathode ray tubes for televisions, then optical disks in the 1980s, before finally closing.
