The Trevithick Society recently
recieved the entire records of Holmans the compressor makers - who started
out as a foundry and manufactured many of Richard Trevithicks prototypes
including the road locomotive. The collection includes 2.5tons of paper
(including letters writtian and signed by Richard Trevithick) and 74000
negatives covering everything from manufacturing to staff weddings &
babies - a complete social history.
Certainly a pleasant windfall for the Trevethick Society and future
researchers.
