Eiron.
Alas, poor Wallace. I knew him well.
But the tree is far from chopped down, the microphone
format which Roy pioneered is still widely used
with spectacular results.
He was also the designer of the Decca modular location
recording consoles, which could be linked together to give as
many input and output channels as the project demanded.
The system was known as STORM (STereo OR Mono)
