Dear List Members: I am working on an on-line exhibit of fire fighting apparatus in the early part of the 20th century and am unable to find any sources on a company operating out of the UK called Merryweather and Sons. The company appears to have been based in London; the addresses given on its letterhead are "Greenwich Road, S.E." and "63, Long Acre, W.C.". Company literature claims that it had been in existence for 200 years and been making fire apparatus for over a century. I would very much appreciate it if someone could tell me a bit more about this company, the people that owned it, when it was first incorporated, what it made before it made fire trucks and what eventually happened to it. Thanking you for your consideration, I am, Jeff O'Brien City of Saskatoon Archivist _______________________________________________________ J.
