Thanks for the memories

摘要

Decades ago I realised that knowledge of one particular hi-fi company - Armstrong Audio - was being forgotten. Since I'd worked for the firm, I decided to do something about it. The result was a set of webpages devoted to the company that I've been slowly adding to ever since. For a long time I had assumed that the disappearance of information concerning Armstrong had occurred because it had ceased manufacturing. However, it has become clear to me recently that companies that still make equipment can suffer with the same issue. On a couple of occasions in the past few months I've tried to obtain technical details of older hi-fi kit from established brand names. One company has always been based outside the UK. The other started in the UK but had been bought up and production shifted abroad.
