Thanks to Saltbush Bill for providing these excellent documents that contain historical background to the E & G Foundry.

Large documents that will take time to open.

Enjoy.

Thanks SBB,
interesting reading 10,000 CO for the Japanese, big order that was declined
I like the part where the Taiwanese ovens were cheap and ended up being inferior and the orders started to roll in again
Nice read
Cheers

I cant take the credit for those Derek, someone else posted the links to the forum ages ago, I just saved the files to my computer for safe keeping and thought they belonged here in the "History Section." Now that I think about it , it probably was Nelson who originally posted them.

Hi i was looking at the history of the E&G Foundry
I started my apprentice ship in 1984 in pattern making at Bradford Kendal just down the road from E&G and visited the place all the time as they use to do our small cast iron casting
I also must also say i made the pattern for the 1.5 litre camp oven i have the photos some where i will post when i find them Cheers

Hi Eddy and welcome to the forum. Those photos will be much appreciated as we need to preserve as much history as we can.
