To be confirmed : | 1. | The legendary EF50 valve appeared immediately prior to the outbreak of world war two. A surviving example of what appears to be the model 12C is known to exist and uses the EF50 valve, which would make it the first television to use such a valve. |
2. | Wireless World for 1st September 1938 contains the sentance "Appart from their projection model, Pye market two general purpose types, the models 815 and 817". This implies Pye produced a projection set but I have found no further mention of such a set. |
