Jackson Brothers, commonly known as Jackson Bros, was a firm known for its dominance of the variable capacitor (or 'tuning condenser') market in the early days of radio broadcasting. Founded in 1923 to provide tuning capacitors for the growing home construction market, by the Fillmore family in Lewisham, England, (there never was a pair of people involved who were Jackson brothers!) the firm went on to manufacture a huge variety of the, mostly air-spaced, two or three gang, variable capacitors, that were at the heart of all radio receivers until the invention of the varicap diode, which replaced them, especially in VHF designs, and the frequency-synthesizer front ends that are now found in most radio receivers.
