  1. 15:52 I've said this before and I'll say it again. RCA had, and has no business using the "Dog & Gramophone" symbol of EMI's His Master's Voice. Prior to RCA buying out the Victor Talking Machine Company, Victor was using the HMV trademark UNDER LICENCE! Victor OWNED NO PART WHATSOEVER of the trademark. When RCA bought Victor in 1929, The Gramophone Company of England(9 years before merging with Columbia Graphophone Co. Ltd.) to form EMI should've revoked Victor's licence on the trademark so as to PREVENT Radio Corp. of America from getting their clammy hands on it. Thus with HMV secured with its rightful owners, when in 1955 EMI bought the lion's share of Capitol, they could then reintroduce the His Master's Voice trademark into the USA and Canada, along with the Parlophone and Regal/Regal Zonophone trademarks to ensure that EMI's roster of talent(Beatles, Gerry & The Pacemakers, Lulu, Herman's Hermits, The Hollies, Adam Faith and many other top BRITISH acts) wouldn't get farmed out to lesser labels.

  2. Yes, colour TV...... it took German companies to perfect that little gem! The PAL system was BY FAR the BEST colour TV broadcasting method EVER! It was FAR SUPERIOR to RCA's pitiful NTSC system, and that French system isn't even worth mentionng here.

  3. I've said this often before but when RCA bought Victor Talking Machine Co. in 1929, they should only have got the plant and the Victor name. the "His Master's Voice" trademark was the sole property of The Gramophone Co. in England and Victor was only using the trademark under licence as they NEVER owned even a fraction of a percent of the trademark and had no right to sell it to anyone else.

  4. IRPCO when said as a word sounds bloody stupid! So it should be said as an acronym(which it is), thus I - R - P - C - O!

  5. Quite frankly, if it weren't for British inventors, America would miss out on a large chunk of the technology America enjoys now. And what there was that had been invented in America, was VASTLY improved upon by British and European technologists. So YES, Britain SHOULD'VE controlled RCA.
