Electronics in the GEC hirst research centre—the first sixty years
Joan Algar, Robert N. Clayton · Radio and Electronic Engineer · 1984
The GEC Hirst Research Centre was formally opened just over 60 years ago. This paper reviews the origins of the Laboratories, records their early history, and describes some of the technical work which they have undertaken. Although the Laboratories were set up to serve all the diverse activities of GEC, the present paper concentrates on electronics and communications.
