Baird colour television receiver, 1969-1970.

In 1960 Radio Rentals acquired the Baird Company. Radio Rentals changed the name of its manufacturing subsidiary in Bradford, Mains Radio Gramophone, to Baird Television, to emphasise its position in the manufacturing of televisions. Although not directly related to the Scottish inventor and television pioneer John Logie Baird, the company used the name to associate themselves with his innovative work in the early days of broadcasting.
