Probably not. The saw used to belong to GEC, so they probably just
bought another on company money. I'm not sure which division of GEC
owned the machine (I acquired it indirectly) but by location I'd guess
it was the steam turbines division. I guess it's possible that this is a
steam turbine part.

Trafford Park, Rugby Willans Works or another site??


Not certain, but I think it was Rugby. The machine has "GEC" stencilled
on the side, and I acquired it from a machinery dealer in Coventry, so
my assumption is that it came from the Rugby site. The dealer said
something about it being used by a GEC maintenance team, but I don't
remember anything more.
