1938 Mullard apparently displayed a laboratory demonstration television at the Radiolympia, incorporating their own fifteen inch magnetically deflected C.R.T. Like the television, the C.R.T. does not seem to have entered production.
1939 Mullard returned to Radiolympia with two commercial televisions. The show took place in the second half of August, but finished prematurely due to the outbreak of World War II. There is no mention of any earlier Mullard televisions and the two that were displayed at Radioympia may not have entered production.
