Designs include early microphones (3p, SG 871), horn loudspeaker (5p, SG 872), colour television camera (7½p, SG 873), and Marconi/Kemp experimental equipment (9p, SG 874).

Many stamps appear mint, never-hinged with full gum, providing an excellent starting point for collectors or a supplement to existing GB collections.
