British Stella Brand
No Connection Found Despite sharing the same brand name, there appears to be no connection between the New Zealand Stella radios and the British Stella brand. Silston Cory-Wright (1888 – 1976) and Cedric Whitby Salmon (1892 – 1979), electrical engineers, incorporated Cory-Wright & Salmon Ltd. on July 29, 1933. [1] The business was built upon the partners' connections with major British firms, such as Vickers and English Electric, but it also represented over 50 other large international engineering companies. The company supplied a wide variety of engineering equipment, with a particular focus on railways. Examples included: electrical components for the Lyttelton-Christchurch line (1928), electric train units for the Wellington-Johnsonville line (1938), and electric locomotives for the main trunk line beginning with Wellington-Paekakariki (1939–40). [2] The company also distributed Stella brand radios from 1934 to 1937.[3] In February 1938, they registered Stella Radio Ltd. in Wellington as dealers in radio equipment.[4] Stella radios were advertised until 1939, and it is unclear who manufactured them. The company was dissolved in November 1991. [1] opencorporates.com-companies/nz/2623. |
