Motorola's back annual stockholder reports are available online here: https://www.motorolasolutions.com/en...t-archive.html

In the 1960 issue on page 13 is a picture of Mr. Papelion in front of the factory: https://www.motorolasolutions.com/co...-4p97mb-28.pdf

In researching these along with some other sources, I found out Motorola ended its licensing agreement with Smiths in 1969 and opened up a new factory in Stotfold to build car radios. Seems both Motorola and Radiomobile came out with car tape players for the British market shortly after this, and the two became major competitors.
