Mullard Equipment Ltd
MEL, or Mullard, or Mullard Equipment Ltd., was a British
manufacturer and supplier of electronic components and equipment.
The company was well-known from the 1920s onwards for its production of radio
valves (tubes). The company later became part of
Philips
and by the mid-1990s it was one of the largest defence contractors of the UK.
It is currently part of Thales.
Although Mullard is mainly known as a manufacturer of electronic components,
such as diodes and transistors,
they also produced professional equipment and even cryptographic devices.
In the early 1960s, for example, Mullard subsidary Egan Electric on Canvey
Island (UK) produced the wheels for the
British Singlet cipher machine.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s
MEL produced the PRC-319 Radio
and the BA-1304 crypto/message unit
under contract with the UK government.
