Cast metal manufacturer's plate on machine tool; Churchill Machine Tool Co. Ltd., Manchester, England
A fine bit of 'rugged' and durable casting on this machine. The Churchill Machine Tool Co Ltd had a long and at times quite contorted history. Charles Churchill, a US born businessman, first appears to have been involved in providing imported machine tools in the 1890s and by 1906 he was behind a limited company set up in Pendleton. The company propsered and moved in time to a large factory in Broadheath, Sale. The company was connected to several buisnesses via shared directors including the BSA who in 1961 bought them. By 1970 the Broadheath factory had closed and the machine tool name vanishes.
