The
first three completed 'La Wood', 19" televisions lined up
in the lounge in my house in Grey Lynn One went to 'Greenwoods',
one to 'Mountjoy', and one direct sale to Takapuna. |

At the Ponsonby workshop, the first cabinets, the metal stands, the aluminium
chassis with all the drilling and fitting of the valve bases
etc, the coils and the final assembly were made by me. Robin
Wood produced the original cicuit, Alf Maddock made the silk
screened panel, and the turret tuner was sourced with the help
of one of the retired directors of Autocrat. We jointly did the
wiring and assemby of the component chassis and the final test
and tuning. I sourced and aquired all the remaining components,
and acted as salesman throughout my whole time with the busines
until leaving. |

Production at Queen St,
Onehunga was undertaken by several women overseen by Bill Patient
(employed as the workshop manager). This was done by placing
in front of each person a chassis with the appropriate section
they were to assemble as a sample. |
