No Logo

A very striking advert for Philips of Eindhoven, issued for the Swiss market in the 1930s. Unusually neither the sets nor the advert use the famous Philips 'wavy line' logo. The design, using photo montage elements, is very of its period.

Philips radio model 834A

This Art Deco radio was made in 1933 in the Netherlands. It's front is made of bakelite and it's sides (not shown) are made of a bakelite formica. The materials deliberately mimic wood grain, so the household newcomer could merge with the furniture.

Project Sunray

The estate Zonnestraal (Sunray) is a former sanatorium in Hilversum, Netherlands. The building was designed by architect Jan Duiker in cooperation with Bernard Bijvoet and Jan Gerko Wiebenga.
Main building and the Henri ter Meulen pavilion were built in 1928; the Dresselhuys pavilion was built in 1931. The main building contained the central facilities, and the patients resided in the pavilions.
The sanatorium was in operation until 1957, and operated as a hospital until 1993. Currently the main building contains several health care related companies. In 1995, the estate was submitted to UNESCO's list of World Heritage Sites, and it is currently on the tentative list.

De Schelde S.21

Designed by TE Slot for the Dutch firm De Schelde, the S.21 was a single seat fighter which reached the advanced prototype stage. Construction commenced early in 1939. Slot believed that, with all the weight concentrated on the fighter's CG. the S.21 would make an excellent gun platform and offer a degree of maneuverability comparable with, if not superior to, that of more orthodox single-seat fighter configurations. Superb view with the firepower concentrated in the nose were to be other advantages.

Of course the concept was not new when you look at other designs of the period including the SAAB-21A, Vultee XP-54 and the original Bell XP-59 design. However, aspects that deviated from these designs included an extensively glazed cockpit and a semi-reclined seat for the pilot. The intended powerplant was to be a Daimler-Benz DB 600Ga 12-cylinder inverted-vee of 1,050hp. A three bladed prop was driven via an extension shaft. Danger for the pilot from the pusher prop when in the event of bailing out was to be solved by "jettisoning" the propeller just prior.
Not only was it intended to take on the interceptor role, low-level ground attack was also envisaged. A 23mm Madsen cannon was to be fixed for the interceptor role and flexible for ground attack role. This being achieved by an automatic stabilising system whereby the pilot only had to adjust the rudder while operating the flexible cannon mode. Other armament included four 7.9mm FN-Browning machine guns.
Estimated maximum speed of 367 mph at 13,125 ft, and a maximum continuous cruise of 323mph was "feasible".
Unfortunately, no opportunity to confirm these calculations was to present itself. The prototype was in final assembly in May 1940 when the Wehrmacht occupied the De Schelde factory. the airframe was transported to Utrecht where it was tested to destruction in the Zerlegebetrieb (Analysis Department).
