Burlington Press & Electrical Press

My Dad (George Herbert Wilson) on his Lino. He was a machine man really but when made redundant he started Burlington Press. He started work on 4th July 1927 and finished on 13th April 1968. For that loyalty he got £456 9s 3d redundancy, worked out at £17 4s 6d, a week. Pathetic. However he took with him a Heidelberg platen and an Arab platen, plus odds and ends, and started Burlington Press.

I don't know where I got this Linotype ruler from. Perhaps it was my Dad's. One end looks as though it's been in the metal pot.
