They would not have used the 5A's for recording music in a studio the
5/8 was more the one for that. 5A was for OB vans and the like thats
what it was designed for!.


So there *was* a version for music (the 5/8) ?? That's very interesting.
Were the cabinet dimensions the same as the LS3/5a? Was it on sale to
the public? It would be very interesting to audition.

See below..

Thanks. Most interesting. This article answered another question I
was going to ask you about Chinese copies, badged "Rodgers"(sic)

There is also, I am told a Chinese copy of the Coles 4038 ribbon mic, and
a colleague of mine has a quasi-PPM meter - a copy of the type built by Ernest Turner, Sifam etc, and used by the BBC. It looks to be the real McCoy, but however hard you drive it, it only goes up to 5 :-))

The Lockwood Major was designed as a music speaker *for* (but not *by*)
the BBC, .......

Yes formidable old unit they were, used to have the 15 inch Golds here
many years ago now;!..

A pal of mine in S.Africa has a pair of Lockwood Majors bought from new.
The cabinets have the original Lockwood coffin handles and casters. He jokes that they are otherwise maintenance-free, but one needs to change the sand ballast every 10 000 hrs!
