Where can I get a hold of that British patent? Sounds interesting! Was it followed up with a US patent?

Funny you should mention, I was looking at the British patent
yesterday, as it was on top of a pile of old Threshold paper.

The British patent was simply a foreign issue of U.S. patent
#3,995,228. I don't know whether hawksford might have been
inspired by it or not, but it does share a very similar topology,
and it's function is that of increasing the bias voltage against
increasing drops from the Bases of the drivers to the output.

Here is a figure from the patent, whose function is better
illuminated by the knowledge that the diodes are low forward
voltage types, Germanium or Schottky.

I once suspected Mikeks was Kevin Aylward because of this

I was wrong, but there is a common point to all three, they have written in Electronics World when it was the great times.

As far the patent stuff, it is always difficult to know who inspired whom when and how much. Most of us stand on the shoulders of giants. (You must feel the weight of all of us by now ).
