As there wasn't such a demand for such a device in my particular
field as there obviously was in yours.

Did you have close co-operation with BBC Radio?

Given I worked for ITV, unlikely.

You have mentioned being at Thames for a short
time.

I was staff at Thames for longer than staff at the BBC. I've no idea where
you got the idea this was a 'short time'.

In another current thread you talk about your
knowledge of what was being made by BBC TV
when you were there. So my assumption that you
had contacts at BH was natural.

You have rather obviously no conception of the size of the BBC. ;-)

We went to BH several times to discuss ideas.
They had a number of cryptically-numbered black
boxes which they demonstrated to us, and some very
clever people. They could have easily done it for you.

Are you saying BBC radio regularly produced 'stereo' from mono? I'd be
surprised.

Please read again.
Like many others BBC Radio were experimenting
to see what could be done in the field of mono to
stereo conversion. As a result of our meetings at
BH a colleague and I were invited by Desmond Briscoe
to visit the BBC Radiophonic Workshop at Maida Vale.
He was surprised to meet people from outside the Beeb
who had both a technical and musical background (like himself)
and who were familiar with the wonderful ARP 2500 synthesizer.

Ah. Right. You mentioned Broadcasting House only, inferring it was
something in regular use. A standard production tool.

The Radiophonic Workshop could well have made use of all sorts of weird
and wonderful devices. That was what they did.
