We refer to Mr. Maurice Edwards, principal of Bromilow and Edwards, Ltd., the Bolton maker of the B. and E. tipping apparatus.
In the early days of air travel ha actually constructed an aeroplane for a local industrial magnate. As a matter of fact, there is scarcely a class of mechanical wheeled machine that he has not made, from a motorcycle to a lorry.
When not actively engaged with the manufacture of tipping gear, Mr. Edwards has endless diversions in the private part of his works and at his home.
Mr. W. P. Harris, whose portrait appears on this page, is the inventor and designer of the Clayton-Harris Verometer, a particularly clever and
efficient farm of ticket-printing machine for the use of conductors (fully dealt with elsewhere in this issue), and embodying principles which may well prove of even greater value in other directions. Mr. Harris had several years at the Ronaford works of Roney, Ltd., but before this was in the engineering section of the India Rubber, Gutta Percha and Telegraph Works Co., Ltd., Silvertown. His apprenticeship was served at the Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield—all excellent experiences, when considered in connecttion with the prod-action of small, accurate parts and mechanisms.
