Decca Gramophone Co - Decca Gramophone Company, gramophone manufacturer
1914 Barnett Samuel and Sons began manufacturing portable gramophones which was called the Dulcephone, and was sold under the trade name Decca. It was patented as the first portable gramophone. This major breakthrough in the technology of recorded sound gave good-quality reproduction and the convenience of portability: the Decca could be carried around like a briefcase. Many were taken overseas by soldiers in WWI. The company also made musical instruments under the name John Grey and Sons.
1927 A fire destroyed some of the factory in Cranmer Road, SW London.
By 1928 the gramophone-making part of Barnett Samuel and Sons had been renamed the Decca Gramophone Company.
