We are getting off topic from Rail but a lot on here like industrial
history generally so I'll throw in this snippet.
Those who follow ships will be familiar with the name Chadburns who
manufactured Engine room Telegraphs etc. As the ship building in the
UK shrunk one of the markets they diversified into was beer dispense
equipment. A lot of the keg taps on the bar in the 1970's were
supplied by them.

I hadn't realised it was the same company, thanks for that snippet.
