From the introduction to McKee's book The London American Legend The war years caused a gradual selling off of UK Decca's holdings in the American company, the money being needed for research to help the war effort. Part of this research, to produce high-fidelity recordings for use in the identification of submarines, resulted in a dramatic increase of tonal range obtainable from 78rpm records. Decca was quick to exploit this technical innovation in its classical and popular repertoire, marketing it as 'ffrr' (full frequency range recording) with a distinctive logo based on the human ear. I find this very interesting, knowing also that Decca were at the same time developing a worldwide radio navigation system, which remained in operation until 2000.
