An author of radio history books, Ian Sanders (see Castle Ridge Press and book reviews in back copies of Canadian Vintage Radios), is currently researching for a book on ‘Burndept of Canada’, and has asked the CVRS if any of their members may be able to provide him with some information (anecdotal or documents), photos, or if they even own one (or more) of their products.
There is little readily available information on ‘Burndept of Canada’ other than what is on the Radiomuseum.org site and in Lloyd Swackhammer’s book, which is negligible. Burndept was also a company in the UK, which started in the 1922 (on which there is more information available) – Ian understands that ‘Burndept of Canada’ was set up as a subsidiary of the UK company as early as 1922, but he is still researching that connection.
If you are able to provide any information or help Ian in any way with his research, it would be very-much appreciated! (you may even get a mention in his book!). Please contact Gerry O’Hara at ‘gerrycohara at gmail dot com’
