I agree, describing EMI as "the Beatles record company" is true but very misleading.
EMI was a diverse conglomerate that was involved in all kinds of stuff, from military RADAR systems to making TV cameras, computers and blank cassette tapes.
Yes, EMI had a record company division (also famous for firing The Sex Pistols), but EMI was exactly the kind of huge industrial tech company you would expect to invent a new kind of scanner.
