Not Goss's but a company in Claughton on Brock near Garstang, called Wood & Stirling. We made unwind stands, laminators, glue stations, & complete lines for the paper converting industry. I worked there as a CNC miller, turner, fitter etc. A good place to work with a decent boss, but sadly went into receivership after thirty odd years in business. I worked there for eleven years.Goss's by any chance? Back when we made stuff???
As I understand it, the biggest concern with Norton cranks is the cast iron flywheel grenading at high revs, but always interesting to see potential improvements elsewhere.
A few weeks ago I drove along a road where I started my apprenticeship forty four years ago. Along this road there was at that time, around a dozen small & medium engineering companies. Now there is only two sheet metal firms. All the toolmakers & general machine shops have gone. What the bloody hell do young people leaving school actually do?
