Hugh,

Just been reading your latest.  Our father went out to Bengal in 1946  
to work at Birkmyres.  Out there they made Transmission Belting and  
Canvas.  After leaving them he joined a Jute Mill further up the  
Hooghly.  Later he left them and went back to his old Hull Company -  
J.H. Fenners who were interested in opening  a factory in S. India, on  
account of import restrictions in India.  They made Transmission  
Belting, Vee Belts and Fennerplast and couldn't get into the Indian  
markets.  (Fennerplast was a non combustible belting for the Coal Mine  
conveyor belts.)
So Dad went to open a factory in Madurai and managed it until his  
death in the early sixties

Best Wishes

Mike
