Chapman Inveresk works in McDonald Road
produced envelopes until the works closed on December 18,
1991.
At the time of my visit in November 1991,
the shift was working until 8pm and most of the equipment appeared
to be operating.
The Machinery
Here is a very large machine that I saw in use. The end result
of the operation was a stream of small envelopes emerging from the
right-hand end of the machine.
Some of the machinery had already been moved to new premises in
Lanarkshire.
