Bruce Peebles' Winders - 1905
The photograph above has been
reproduced from a copy of 'BP News', a Bruce Peebles
publication. Thank you to Phil Mackie, Orpington, Kent, England, for providing the photo.
The caption on the photo
reads:
"Do you remember?
Mr W Smith, an old Peebleian and now Senior
Partner with Smith & Co, Carlisle, who recently visited the works with
delegates of the AMEME handed us the photograph which, we think may
interest our readers.
We can recognise the following, but no doubt there are some among
you who can do better.
BACK ROW:
- . - , J Rentoul, D Whitton, G Happer, Shimmon, -
MIDDLE ROW: Carnie,
R Lamb, P Buckley, B Clark, - , - , -
FRONT ROW: -,
W Smith, D Hopton, J Hart, McCascal, W Mackie -. -, -"
Phil Mackie, who sent me this
photo, tells me that he believes that W Mackie in the bottom row may be
one of his relatives.

CORRECTION
Thank you to George Jones who
read my comment above and wrote:
"You show a photo of winders from Bruce
Peebles dated 1905 and in another photo of a transformer heading for
Huddersfield you state that this was the need for winders.
Since Bruce Peebles didn't start making
transformers until 1925, I think that you will find that the winders were
armature winders employed in the winding of electric motors and
generators."
