Telsen Electric Company Ltd. Formed in the early 1920s, Telsen produced a range of electrical appliances from their factory in Manchester including Clothes Irons, Toasters and Christmas Fairy Lights. Photographs of these appliances will be found in the museum section of this website, along with an incomplete list of the items they manufactured. By the late 1920s Telsen were manufacturers of Wireless Sets and Components at their factory in Aston, Birmingham. They had a cabinet making department turning out polished furniture into which wireless receivers were built, mainly from their own components. They were also buying Bakelite cases from Edwin Elliot in Birmingham. They also produced every component one might require for the building of a wireless receiver at home, including the blueprint layouts to encourage tidy construction of receivers to the Telsen designs. The components were listed in a catalogue which later became incorporated into the Telsen Radiomag. This magazine was produced around 1933 / 1934 and ran for the six issues of volume one. The size of the magazine increased to A4 size after issue two, as did the price which was 3d for issue two and 6d for issue three. Blueprints were supplied with the larger format magazine as loose sheets. There are no dates on the magazine covers and it appears that publication was irregular. One aim of this website is to provide access to the Telsen Radiomag for a wider audience. Pages from the magazines are reproduced in JPG format scanned from intact but well read original copies. There are many rips, tears, burns and other disfigurements and although the magazines are quite rare it is hoped that the images will be replaced when better copies are found. Today the Aston factory is a multi-unit industrial centre
