The Walter Ashe Radio Company, featured in this 1955 issue of Radio & Television News magazine, was a British radio manufacturer that operated from the 1920s to the 1950s. The company was founded by Walter Ashe, who was an engineer and inventor. In the early days, the company produced crystal radios, which were simple radios that used a piece of crystal to detect radio waves. However, the company quickly expanded its product range to include valve radios, which were more advanced and offered better sound quality. During World War II, the company produced radios for the British armed forces, including the famous "Gibson Girl" portable radio, which was used by soldiers in the field. After the war, the company continued to produce radios for the civilian market, including the popular "Waverley" series of radios. In the 1950s, the company began to face increasing competition from foreign manufacturers, and it struggled to keep up with the rapidly changing technology in the radio industry. In 1958, the company was acquired by Ultra Radio and Television, and it eventually ceased production. Despite its relatively short lifespan, the Walter Ashe Radio Company played an important role in the history of British radio manufacturing. The company's radios were well-regarded for their quality and performance, and they helped to popularize radio as a form of entertainment in the early 20th century. Today, vintage Walter Ashe radios are sought after by collectors and enthusiasts. Walter Ashe Radio Company
