Tannoy decided to honor its principal mentor and now retired Chief Engineer in 1986 by asking him to design a period cabinet with a traditional rear folded horn. This project was completed by Ronnie and launched as the RHR Limited Edition. Only 111 pairs were made and were actively sought around the world. In response to overwhelming demand a further small quantity were produced with subtle appearance design characteristics and named the RHR Special Limited Edition. They change hands now for a premium. Although Ronnie had passed retirement age he was keen to maintain a place in the Tannoy Design Team. He regarded it as a special honor to be able to play a leading role in the cabinet design of the Canterbury 15 and Canterbury 12.
Ronnie passed away peacefully in December 1990 after an illness in which he showed the same practical fortitude and great strength of character that he had brought to the whole Tannoy team over more than 40 years service with the Company.
