This area is being used to gather information about Marconi in Marine and will be re-structured at a later time

Introduction from the 1952 and 1958 Catalogues

The Marconi Company can unquestionably claim to hold unequalled experience in the design and manufacture of marine radio equipment.  This experience is applicable to both shipborne units and equipment for coastal and harbour communications.

In lighthouses and lightships, harbour masters' offices, pilot cutters and tugs, the radio installations, which may include direction finders, radar, radio telephone and beacons, are plying a vital role in everyday operation.  Naval and other ocean-going vessels are also fitted with communications equipment and navigational aids, and the extensive requirements in this field can be fully met.
