A few months later
circuit board sales took off and by 1976 the premises were too cramped
and the roof leaked. Roger, the younger son joined the firm, having a
natural bent for electronics, and seemingly able to repair anything
whatever, became very useful and it was hard to keep him away at week

A
large Tannery, near Todmorden, empty for many years was purchased
freehold with aid from the bank. The shell of the building was sound,
with thick concrete floors but with no fittings and needing extensive
alterations to comply with factory and fire regulations. It took three
years for Peter working with a labourer and occasional advice from an
architect to cut out a section of the first floor and construct a wide
brick and concrete staircase. He built an outside effluent tank for
chemical drainage, and installed all the complicated plumbing and water
timing devices used for cleansing boards.

Stoneswood Mill and land was purchased. I retired from my directorship
and passed on my shares in the company.
