Mullard

UCL has a space lab named after Mullards, Cambridge has a radio telescope. Was there one person who set up these gifts, there are few other companies who have gifted money to space science. Wellcome is very generous for medical research.

Mullard were taken over by Philips back in 1927, so were these gifts really from Philips?

I'm keenly aware of this since my Dad worked for Mullards for 30 years.
