Audio history

I've recently been working though Wireless World issues from the 1930s and
1940s, looking for info on the ancient history of audio/hifi. As mentioned
in another posting, doing this at the Museum of Communications in Fife.
They have a fair collection of old mags, abeit with gaps and mainly on
'radio' and related topics.

It occurs to me to ask he

What other magazines from the 1930s-50s period would people expect to
provide reports, reviews, etc, on items like 'radio' and 'radiogram'
chassis or what we'd now think of as 'hifi' or 'audio' home equipment?

The museum do have Practical Wireless, and I think they have ERT. I know
ERT will have some service sheets that are relevant, but beyond that I
don't know enough about the old mags to know if they - or other titles -
would be good places to search though.

Also, anyone here have back issues of 'Hi Fi Sound' from circa 1970? There
may be one or two Armstrong reviews from it I haven't yet tracked down.

Thanks in advance for any help,

Jim

** Mostly written in the style of a racy paperback with a head spinning mixture of fact, fiction and opinion.

No "neutral point of view" to be seen anywhere and manages to give credit to nearly every discredited piece of hi-fi nonsense ever published.

However, the author ( Lynn Olsen ) was right to point to the early developments in cinema sound and leave Bose out completely.

More entertaining reading he
