The Pye History Project is an industrial, technical and social history program operated by the Pye History Trust to research, document and record the history of the Pye Group of Companies from 1896 and the present day and is funded by the Pye Foundation Trust. The Pye Group was always headquartered in Cambridge, England.
The Trustees of the Pye History Trust launched a permanent Pye exhibition at the Cambridge Museum of Technology (CMT) on Tuesday 21 May 2019. It was opened by Professor Sir Mike Gregory, former Head of the Manufacturing and Management Division of the Engineering Department at the University of Cambridge, and of the Institute for Manufacturing. It was attended by many distinguished guests and former Pye employees.
The exhibition is in the dedicated Pye Building at CMT and includes eight cabinets displaying a varied range of Pye products dating from the beginning of the 20th century to the 1990s. The history of Pye is also graphically displayed in a timeline from the point that William G. Pye set up the Company making scientific instruments, before resigning from his job as workshop supervisor at the Cavendish Laboratory, University of Cambridge.
