It is odd to imagine that my grandfather, Harry Ashworth, coudl properly have taken care of this booklet – in 1938 Harry was the London space profits and company man for the Rochdale based organization of Thomas Robinson. He would continue on to do the job for the firm, owning moved back again to Lancashire following the war, until finally retirement in the early 1970s and 1 of my recollections is that my grandmother, the working day just after his dying, bought a letter from them not of condolences set telling her his pension experienced ceased. Robinson’s were being a large title in woodworking and flour milling equipment and this catalogue go over uses graphics based on the numerous products thay manufactured and equipped.
