Description
Author: Lionel H Jones
In the year 2000, Mawdsley’s factory at Dursley, which opened in 1907 was demolished and houses built on the site.
This book is a record of some of those who worked there and of their many engineering achievements through the 20th century. Those studying industrial history will find the Mawdsley Story very typical of the changes experienced by workers in other industries as wars and new technology, social changes and global economic forces affected their lives in various ways through the century.
“Cobra” machine sets for Egnigma code breaking were manufactured there. A Dursley link to Bletchley Park.
