Scale 10
Scale 10 was made by Griffin & Tatlock
and can be dated to the second quarter of the 20th century. It includes the
inscriptions “DUORIDER” and the “REGD Nº 809220”. The origins of this firm go
back to c. 1881, when the company Baird & Tatlock was founded in Glasgow.
In 1896, the partnership dissolves, Hugh Harper Baird going to London and
John Tatlock staying in Glasgow. In 1903, the London company became Baird
& Tatlock (London) Ltd. In 1915, the Glasgow firm also took the name of
Baird & Tatlock, Ltd, spurring a dispute over who had the rights of using
that name. The two firms held the same name until 1925, when the Glasgow
company merged with John J. Griffin & Sons, Ltd, and began trading under
the name of Griffin & Tatlock Ltd in 1929. In 1954, Griffin & Tatlock
merged with W. & J. George & Becker Ltd. and Standley
Belcher & Mason Ltd. to form Griffin & George Ltd. LAST
