Big Ben Crystal radio.
The rise of radio broadcasting in 1922, with Big Ben's chimes becoming a national timekeeping reference, prompted Stockall, Marples to enter the radio market. Capitalizing on the modular system popular among enthusiasts, their patented design allowed for diverse receiving sets by combining plug-in units on a foundation panel. This offered flexibility compared to fixed wireless sets. Their Big Ben series of modular radio panels, named after the iconic timekeeping landmark, included crystal sets and valve sets.
This example is a crystal detector on Panel No. 3.
