Enthusiasts'Club Newsletter

I was delighted to see the slide rule described on page 2. I only knew that SD produced these from the Kaleidoscope book and it was so good to be able to get a better idea of the innovation. On page 1 I describe four photos I’ve received about the remarkable Freighter, which was the reason for the formation of Shelvoke & Drewry Ltd. I was pleased to be able to pay tribute to Mrs. Freda Tassell who died recently. She had a truly remarkable career at S&D. There are many other news articles here and again I’m grateful to all those people who send in the information that I’m able to use. I hope you enjoy the Newsletter.
