In fact, when the companies of the CIL stopped fighting each other, all the heads were turned in. the facilities of a new factory located in Stratford, Carpenters Road. CIL also bought Zuckerman machines as they were more efficient. The finishing workshops closed, and the pipes were finished at Aldershot and sometimes at Shoeburyness. | |||
