One of the prototype keying units and its oscillators in 1962
Brian Hodgson and keying unit with 12 Jason oscillators

From 1963[1] Delia used the BBC Radiophonic Workshop's bank of twelve Jason Audio Frequency Generators, maybe Model QS-10,[2] test equipment for electronic circuits.[3]

They had "12 sine/square wave generators (Jason) associated with keying unit and adjustable decay unit (workshop construction)."[1]

I did the Dr Who theme music mostly on the Jason valve oscillators. [...] There were 12 Jason valve oscillators, with 8 electronic gating circuits, built in-house. [...] The Jason was just swoopy, you know Dr. Who swoopy.[4]
