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

Please don't try to tell me there was no co-operation between
departments, because I know that is not correct.

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.

No inference at all.
BH was the place where the meetings were held.

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

They were not involved in mono to stereo as far as I know.
My colleague and I kept contact with Mr Briscoe, and
visíted often. They were pleased to talk with people on
the same wavelength, and with the similar skillsets.
