Blundell-Luton TypeP10 (c1947-49) Made in England Front Scale 6in // Cube (K), A [ B, REC (CI), C ] D, MAN (L) BackScale [ S, S&T, T ] Archive - Owned by Brailsford Sykes. Scan and photo donated by son John Sykes (UK) Brailsford Sykes, born 1926 in Huddersfield, Yorkshire. He joined Brook Motors at age 16 as an apprentice, and subsequently "graduated" with a gold medal in 1946. He became an expert in the theory and practical application of induction motors, and was rapidly promoted to a managerial position in the company, running the Sheffield technical sales office. This was from 1950 to 1974, and the attached photo was probably taken mid-60's at his office desk. You can see the Blundell in his top pocket. He retired from the company (taken over by Hawker Sidley and then amalgamated with Crompton Parkinson) in 1984. |

Founded in 1880 at 109 Deansgate, Manchester by Alexander George Thornton, the firm grew to become one of the largest
manufacturers of drawing instruments and slide rules in Britain. The Precision Instrument Co was taken over in 1901
and PIC continued to be used by Thornton as a trade mark until about 1970. The firm became British Thornton in 1967
and merged with ESF at Burley in 1992. British Thornton is now a manufacturer of school furniture in Keighley.
