Some interesting facts about Hayes, London UB3 and UB8
Hayes is a town in the London Borough of Hillingdon. It is a suburban development situated 13 miles (20.9 km) west of Charing Cross and within the historic county boundaries of Middlesex. Hayes was developed in the late 19th and 20th centuries as an industrial locality to which residential districts were later added to house factory workers. Its development is typical of the Second Industrial Revolution - the creation of new light engineering industries on the edge of existing cities. The name comes from Anglo-Saxon H?s or H?se = "(land overgrown with) brushwood"
Hayes has always been heavily involved with Industry, both local and International, and is (or has been) the home of EMI, Nestlé, Heinz, and past companies include Fairey Aviation (later merged with Westland), and HMV. An early occupier was the Gramophone Company, later His Master's Voice and latterly EMI. Only the EMI archives and some early reinforced concrete factory buildings, notably one (1912) by Evan Owen Williams, later knighted, the engineer, remain. It was here in the Central Research Laboratories (generally known as "CRL") that Isaac Shoenberg developed (1934) the all-electronic 405-line television system (called the EMI-Marconi system, used by the BBC from 1936 until closedown of the Crystal Palace 405 line transmissions in 1985, and Alan Blumlein carried out his research into binaural sound and stereo gramophone recording. "Trains at Hayes Station" (1935) and "Walking & Talking" are two notable films Blumlein shot to demonstrate stereo sound on film. These films are held at the Hayes EMI archive.
In 1939, working alongside the electrical firms A.C. Cossor and Pye, a 60MHz radar was developed, and from 1941 to 1943 the H2S radar system. Later Godfrey Hounsfield was to create his computed tomography (CT) scanner, utilising the EMIDEC 1100 computer of which he was the project leader, receiving the MacRobert Award in 1972 and the Nobel Prize in 1979.The interesting facts information on this page about Hayes, London UB3 and UB8 was derived from Wikipedia
