Bristol's Instrument Co. Ltd and Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd Agreement for Sale

In 1954 Elliott Bros acquired the Bristol's Instrument Company at Weymouth to strengthen its process control activities. Bristol made automatic recording equipment for temperature and other measurements.
The apprentices from Bristol Instruments were brought up to the Training School at Rochester and were simply known as the ‘Weymouth Boys’. The Bristol Instrument Company was a subsidiary of the Bristol Company of Waterbury, Connecticut, USA and was established in London in 1932. In 2000 it became part of Marconi Radar and Control Overseas Ltd.

The document was approved on the 6th October 1954. It was signed on behalf of Elliott Brothers (London) Ltd by Rudolph Edgar Francis De Trafford but this copy has no signature from Bristol's Instrument.
