These Tools were made by John Davis, most of them in the Craft School but others in the various shops he worked in.

The ‘foreigners’ were made on night shifts in the Light Machine Shop when the foreman was busy elsewhere!

As with other apprentices, he found them very useful during the rest of his time ‘on the shop floor’.
