Via Angelfire:
"Probably the earliest mass-produced portable electronic keyboard was the Univox. Manufactured by Tom Jennings’ J. M. I. Company, it laid the foundations for what was to become VOX- the sound of the 60’s. Designed in 1946 by Derek Underdown and Tom Jennings, it fulfilled Jenning’s original concept of a small, portable electronic keyboard instrument that could be used by a pianist to simulate the sound of various acoustic instruments and the human voice. In actuality, the Univox was really a monophonic organ with a range of tone selections and vibrato effects, which, for the time, was remarkably successful at doing just that."
