[quote=Retlaw;772308]Hi Barrie.
I've probably met him and didn't know it, I worked at Bulloughs in the Pattern Shop during the 1950's, the Tool Room did quite a bit of work for the Pattern Shop, when we had a large run on a product we had to make things in double & triple contraction, and then go to the Tool Room, and check the patterns which were mounted on plates against the original specs.

He probably moved from Ring Room to Tool Room in the mid '50s - so many things went through my head at that time, cycling, football, girls, Thwaites. He was pretty well known around the clubs i think, used to recite monologues.
