Thanks for the information. I expect you have got the original or a copy of that photo.
I take it that you, at least, have got no knowledge about Jowett machine tools? You will recall from my Chailey days that I have been involved in engineering most of my life and I simply like old tools - to use, not just to look at!
Last year my son found me a nice little centre lathe by a company called Tyzack. I used the internet and got a very cordial reply from the current member of the Tyzack family who is still associated with the business and is himself interested in old tools - especially Tyzack or Zyto.
It is about 1930, so it is just the job for knocking up odd bits for my 1930 Long Four. No helicoils needed yet though!

The page in the 50 years booklet is very useful. A friend has a couple of Merlin engines to 'play' with and I will look to see if the coolant pumps bear any markings of Jowett origin.
Personally, I doubt it. I worked at one time for a Defence Contractor and when they made items to a military drawing the only way to trace the manufacturer was via batch numbers.
Still, it was a nice thought to make a collection of non-car bits!
