Sangamo time switches for street ligthing control : advert issued by Sangamo Weston Ltd, Enfield and Port Glasgow, 1963
A very well known name in the field of such equipment, Sangamo Weston was formed in 1936 by the merger of two British subsidiaries of American concerns; British Sangamo (formed in 1921) and who made electricity meters, and British Weston Electrical Instrument Co., then based in Surbiton. They were for many years based in Enfield with the Port Glasgow works opening in 1950 and this site has survived along with the name Sangamo. The concern has undergone several changes of ownership before being bought back by it's management and reverting to the name of one of its founding partners.
Such timing clocks were study beasts and indeed, it isn't so long since the one controlling the stair lighting in the flats, constructed in 1963, in Woodford Green, that I lived in, had its Sangamo clock timer replaced!
