Why have I never heard of this site before??
It was the UNF thread that led me here, a model engineer need never wonder where to browse with a cup of coffee ever again.
 

New Grace's Guide is the most comprehensive source of information on the engineering industry in Britain from the start of the Industrial Revolution to the 1960s.

This web publication contains 59,143 pages of information and 79,698 images on early companies, their products and the people who designed and built them. Additions are being made to the information daily.

Wow - thanks for that! - page bookmarked.
 
I suspect that will divert me from all the " I really ought to get on with" or " OK dear I'll do it when I get a chance" jobs (of which I have an endless supply!)

Don't get too excited, that is a very broad canvas to paint. For machine tools Lathes.co.uk is about a million times better and far more use to ME's.
 
We have such a fantastic engineering history in the UK that any moves- such as Grace's- is good news, at least someone is making an attempt at recording stuff that is now almost gone. I would also like to see the more recent stuff -say from 1950 to 2000- be recorded. Many of the good people who did wonderful work in that period are reaching the time where their memories will be lost. After that it is down to the archives, a few dates, magazines and adverts and those silent unloved machines in museums that are often set up in some silly way. So much about people's lives and work has been lost.
