Not an early Standard but a respectable little radio with clean lines and a thin, contoured cabinet. This model is very common here in Ontario. I have a few of these but figured one photo of just one example is good enough.
They can be found in the United States under the Baylor brand name with the model number H205.
Pictured below is the SR-F205, an AM/SW version of this radio with only 6 transistors. The shortwave band doesn't perform very well.
If you are looking for a strong shortwave performer you'll need to seek out the larger radios like the Zenith Transoceanics etc, Sony Earth Orbiters etc
This is the first version of the SR-G24 (no 'A' appended on the end of the model number. The color is a light green/chartreuse. Circa 1958.
The rear of this radio has a phono input, an external speaker output and an external power outlet on the back. These were removed on the revised 'A' version.
Also, this earlier version uses black oval, Hitachi transistors. The re-design used cylindrical ones. Only "radio" folk will care about this little detail.
Wonderful 'automotive' inspired Standard logo.
BR standard class 7MT no.70013 'Oliver Cromwell' was one of the visitors to the gala, taking a break at the railway in between it's mainline duties. The Britannia is seen here double heading with newly restored BR standard class 4MT no.76084 on the 11:57 Sheringham to Holt non stop service. The pair were acclerating away from a signal check at this point and the noise as they headed up the 1 in 80 to Holt was brilliant!

Being their first product following World War II, Standard were quick to adopt an American design to try and get with the times, resembling none of their previous models but often being mistaken for a Plymouth.
This line of production went through from 1947 until 1963 when it was replaced by the Triumph 2000, by which time it had started to resemble Ford Anglia's and Humber Hawks of the time, which were influenced by Chevy Bel Air's and Ford Thunderbird's of the time, so no change on the American inspiration front!
This ex GM Standard was seen at one of the Barnsley breakers some years ago, does anyone know its ID?
Also in the picture is an ex South Wales Leyland National D104UHO
Standard fare for many a Melbourne Cup party , a bit of a tradition .. Not that glamorous party this one but a small group in the city , more an office party eating prawns and watching the big race . As for prawns being healthy .. that could be debatable .

The Phase III Vanguards made their debut in 1955 at the Earls Court show. A much more contemporary design than the rather frumpy Phase II, they carried over the superb engine but little else.
New monocoque bodies allowed much more in the way of interior space, and power was boosted thanks to a 7,0:1 compression ratio, made possible due to the improvement in petrol quality.
They were better equipped, all models coming fitted with a heater as standard equipment, and a smart estate version was introduced, as offered here, although perhaps not so smart in this case
Sadly we haven’t inherited any paperwork with this car, but the number is still recognised on the DVLA database so the new owner should be able to get a duplicate V5C in the usual way. The records show that it has had two previous owners.
Not run or driven for many years, and sporting a pretty radical set of semi-off road tyres, this interesting period piece is being offered for complete restoration. Can someone please rescue this car....
These radios date back to 1959. The earliest version (green radio in the back) was released in the spring of 1958, it was the SR-G24. Chassis modifications and slight cabinet changes were the distinquishing features between the two models.
The rear of the earlier version has a phono input, an external speaker output and an external power outlet on the back. These were removed on the revised 'A' version.
Also, the earlier (green) version uses black oval, Hitachi transistors. The re-design used cylindrical ones. Only "radio" folk will care about this little detail.
These were the three available color options - ivory, coral and green. The perforated speaker grill is painted to match the plastic cabinet.
An incredibly thin and elegant coat pocket radio with a spectacular silver reverse painted dial on the right.
Take note of the badge. This lettering would have looked right at home on a car. I'm sure some vehicles from the late 50's actually used this script. Cars, rocketships and anything futuristic were implemented in radio design.
Only a handful of early Standard radios utilized the "automotive" inspired script for their company nameplate.
Birth of the mysterious Alchemical Sentinels
3 months working day and night with an exceptional “dream team"… a big thank you to ACS, Luc, my trusty Giant who could lift a juggernaut onto a balcony (QED Thierry Loir) Thomas Cart'1, Goin, and of course Marc for the paints.
I have managed to set up my installation of 99 raw steel sculptures with an incredibly demanding specification: none of the 3600 work on the DDC site were to be hidden… we had to think about power sources, water crossings, access for construction machinery including the telescopic booms (3m wide)… public safety, ERP museum standards, etc, ... constantly alternating between the visible and the invisible...
Are they inhabited? I don’t know. One thing is certain: each sentinel stands as a unique sculpture in terms of its alchemical elements and paintwork (either with anti-rust paint or voluntarily with paints that do not resist rust). This autumn, each sentinel will reveal – with the acid rain – different interpretations, depending on the paints and solvents used, making each one different, with stratifications that future archaeologists will decipher.
But my most perilous challenge was to create a giant (9000 m²) installation that envelops the Abode of Chaos with dozens of tons of steel, so that my visitors, from any angle, enter a dreamlike fantasy and where the world of the Abode of Chaos on the one hand and that of the 99 monumental sculptures (named "Alchemical Sentinels" during an extremely busy night ) intersect like the Inframince defined by Marcel Duchamp (or, how to build intensities by subtraction).
These 99 Alchemical Sentinels are now the guardians of the Sanctuary that the Abode of Chaos has become. I designed them as veritable quantum energy wells that we placed with patience and wisdom at different spots all over the Abode of Chaos.
There are 99 in total, made of 10mm rough steel (50 tons), welded to form perfect equilateral triangles. Each of the three sides constituting an Alchemical Sentinel is itself cut to reveal a meurtrière, again in the shape of an equilateral triangle, presenting a superb Euclidean geometry to the visitor.
These 99 Alchemical Sentinels are each placed at specific energy points on the 9000 m² of the Abode of Chaos. Some are hidden by vegetation or natural landforms or are placed in relation to existing works. Others are located in our private and professionals spaces.
In my alchemical work that began on 9 December 1999, the three gates arranged in an equilateral triangle with one vertex pointing upwards, form the luminous delta. They represent the three elements that alchemists work with. These three elements are sulphur, mercury and salt.
Note that the three elements found in the Prima Materia (or Alchemical Chaos) are very closely related. The point triangle is also the symbol of the fire philosophers.
The equilateral triangle resting on its base – like the three points – is the symbol of the fire element, one of the four elements that the alchemist works with in the laboratory.
The geometric properties of the equilateral triangle evoke absolute perfection by their spiritual strength and their age-old symbolism going back to ancient Egypt… strength, beauty and harmony.
They will remain for a thousand years as witnesses to a civilization lost through the folly of men.

3 mois de travail jour et nuit, une "dream team" hors du commun, un grand merci à ACS, Luc, mon fidèle Géant qui poserait un 38 T. sur un balcon (cqfd Thierry Loir) Thomas, Cart'1, Goin et bien sûr Marc pour les peintures.
Je suis arrivé à poser mon installation de 99 sculptures d'acier brut avec un cahier des charges de ouf, aucune des 3600 œuvres de la DDC ne devaient être occultées, penser aux sources électriques, les passages d'eau, les voies de transport pour engin de chantier, les nacelles télescopiques (3m de large), protéger le grand public, respecter les normes ERP muséales, etc… Alterner en permanence monstration et effacement…
Sont-elles habitées ? Je l'ignore. Une chose certaine est que chacune, par les éléments alchimiques et les codes peints soit à l'antirouille soit volontairement avec des peintures dégradables par la rouille avec le temps, rend chaque sentinelle comme une sculpture unique. Cet automne chaque sentinelle va laisser apparaître, avec les pluies acides, différents niveaux de lecture, selon les peintures et solvants utilisés, les rendant singulières avec des stratifications que les archéologues des temps futurs décrypteront...
Mais mon défi le plus périlleux, était de créer une installation géante de 9000 m2 qui enveloppe, par des dizaines de tonnes d'acier, la Demeure du Chaos pour que mes visiteurs sur 360 degrés, plongent dans un univers onirique et fantasmagorique où les deux univers que sont la Demeure du Chaos d'une part et d'autre part l'installation des 99 sculptures monumentales (baptisées par une nuit très agitée "Sentinelles Alchimiques") s'entrecroisent selon l'Inframince définit par Marcel Duchamp (ou comment construire des intensités par soustraction).
Ces 99 Sentinelles Alchimiques sont désormais les gardiennes du Sanctuaire que représente la Demeure du Chaos. Je les ai conçus comme de véritable puits d’énergie quantique que je pose avec patience et sagesse sur l’ensemble de la Demeure du Chaos.
Elles sont au nombre de 99, faites d’acier brut de 10 mm (50 tonnes) soudées pour former un triangle équilatéral parfait. Chacun des 3 pans constituant une Sentinelle Alchimique, est lui même découpé pour laisser entrevoir une mystérieuse meurtrière, elle même en forme de triangle équilatéral, donnant ainsi une géométrie Euclidienne au regard du visiteur.
Ces 99 Sentinelles Alchimiques sont chacune à des points d’énergie particuliers de la Demeure du Chaos sur 9000 m2. Certaines se dissimulent par la végétation ou les reliefs naturels ou bien en écho aux autres œuvres, d’autres sont dans les espaces privatifs ou professionnels.
Dans mon travail alchimique démarré le 9 décembre 1999, les trois portes disposées en triangle équilatéral, dont un sommet est dirigé vers le haut, forment le delta lumineux. Elle sont les trois corps sur lesquels l’alchimiste va œuvrer. Ces trois corps sont le soufre, le mercure et le sel.
Soulignons que les trois corps présents dans la Materia Prima ou Chaos alchimique sont étroitement mélangés. Le triangle de point est aussi la marque des philosophes par le feu.
Le triangle équilatéral reposant sur sa base, à la manière des trois points, est le symbole de l’élément feu, l’un des quatre éléments avec lequel l’alchimiste travaille au laboratoire.
Les propriétés géométriques du triangle équilatéral relèvent de la perfection absolue par sa force spirituelle, son symbolisme de la nuit des temps notamment dans l’ancienne Egypte, il est force, beauté et harmonie.
Elles resteront durant mille ans comme les témoins d’une civilisation disparue par la folie des hommes

Sadly, no pics of the U2 Concert. Frankly, from my seats, without the Hubble Satellite, I was not going to get a good photo. Instead, more pics from archives. The Standard Biergarten.

This is a very tiny, seven transistor, AM radio. Standard manufactured a long and successful line of these Micronic Ruby radios starting in 1965. (I believe there were 13 different models)
I wonder if this radio inspired Sony to design their 1R-81.
Most, if not all micro radios were sold with these hardshell (jewelry box) cases. A perfect gift for the lady of the house.
Most of these Micronic Rubys do not work today and due to their small size they are very difficult to repair. The radio takes two very small and odd sized 1.5 volt batteries. Finding replacements will be challenging and expensive.
This cool hotel sits on the High Line park in the Chelsea District of Manhattan. The High Line is a mile and a half park built on an old, elevated freight railroad line that runs along the lower west side.

Here's a well built radio that went on the market in 1957. It sold well into1958. Interestingly, this radio took on several identities. It can be seen slightly redesigned as a Mignon and also as a Lafayette. The chassis for this radio can be found inside the Hitachi TH-621.
I have another version which is much plainer, branded as a Luraline.
The most spectacular variation is the Standard SR-F23. It's entire top half is a gold plated, metal escutcheon with a plastic speaker grill.
