Segovia did everything he could throughout his very long career to encourage guitar builders to build better guitars. He also did what he could to improve guitar strings, and with that in mind he encouraged Albert Augustine to develop the first nylon strings specifically designed for the guitar. And so, these strings at the time were really somewhat revolutionary. To the best of my knowledge he endorsed and used them. They were very good strings for those times.
String technology has certainly been continuing to develop since that time, and if Segovia were a young man today he would have a wide variety of excellent strings (and guitars) to choose from. But back in the "old days" that was not the case.
