Notable Orders: 1890s (cont'd)

A further selection of orders received towards the turn of the century

This (ongoing) continuation page contains a précis of the more interesting orders received by the company during the period from 1894 onwards from a variety of clients, many of whom were overseas, with brief details of equipment supplied.

Ed: It should be noted that around mid 1894 it is suggested that Ralph Tweddell may have set up a limited company called Tweddell Systems Ltd. as all orders received from him refer to T.S Ltd. (see Other Notes).
