High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! Racal was created in 1950 as Racal Ltd, the name being derived from the partners RAymond Brown and George CALder Cunningham.The first factory was located in Isleworth, West London. On outgrowing this site it moved to Bracknell, Berkshire. Although Racal had won a Royal Navy contract to build and supply a variant of the American Collins Model 51-J Radio Receiver, they were not granted a licence to build these sets by Collins Inc. This meant that Racal had to design and build a radio receiver from scratch. The result was the famous 'RA17' - in production from 1955 to at least 1973 - designed in cooperation with Dr. Trevor Wadley and utilising his famed Wadley Loop circuit. In 1979, Racal bought Decca Radar forming Racal-Decca. Racal-Datacom conducted business in the United States. In 1983, Racal competed for one of the original licences to operate a cellular network in the UK, both it and British Telecom were successful. Racal established the Racal Telecom subsidiary.
