Daily Herald Photograph: Testing television sets at Southend-on-Sea factory

One photograph of a male worker testing a television chassis with an electrical test machine. Caption on back reads: 'At eight o'clock next Saturday evening the most powerful television station in the world will begin transmitting from SUTTON COLDFIELD (WARWICKSHIRE), putting television within the reach of 9,000,000 more people. It is estimated that 30,000 new sets will be switched on from the Cotsworlds to the Cheshire Plain and from Nottingham to Leeds and makers of television sets are working all-out to meet this demand. Picture taken at a Southend-on-Sea factory where television sets are being produced on a large scale shows:- A tester puts each completed chassis through its paces on a special electrical test machine in order to be sure that all circuits and wiring have been well and truly completed'.
