TR GIL

1860's - 1960's

Premises located at Arbroath, Angus. The records relate to the firm of Alexander Shanks founded 1840, which operated from the Dens Iron Works, Arbroath., until 1967 when it was taken over by Giddings & Lewis-Fraser Ltd., and restyled Gilman-Fraser Ltd. The firm's speciality lay in lawn mower manufacture, but it also undertook a wide variety of general engineering work.

The items at Reading are a miscellany, being mainly printed U.K. patent specifications, principally for lawn mowers and some duplicates of the publications now at Ladyloan.
