[QUOTE="Gordon Ryley, post: 167336, member: 3208"] Looking at the photos of the HRD assembly line that Graham Smith selected for us re 1946-8 with the rear Sub Frames ready to be mated up,what happened in the winter months when we had the power cuts did the factory have its own generator or did production stop or were S/N s noted after assembly easy to have made mistakes in those trying conditions. Our power cuts in the grim north lasted for quite a while during that period.Aside to that I remember my sister being removed from her pram along with the wheelbarrow to look for coal in the local sidings, heat before electricity. How did the factory manage. Gordon Ryley [/QUOTE]
