Ship's Radio Room - Marconi Equipment.
The Friend's of Chelmsford Science & Industry Museum at Sandford Mill have created a typical ship's radio room. They were advised by Peter Watkins, a retired Ships Radio Officer. Don Manning & Geoff Lovegrove were the main "workmen" who constructed the room.To satisfy the Health & Safety Executive, a new door had to be created, this reducing the effective space a little.
Collection of posters encouraging ship's passengers to use the radio services. Interflora etc.
