Hello Tony,

I Googled "PYE Village Industries" as that was a term used in Ch. 5 of the book which discusses PYE during WW2. The book came up on Google Books, so I think that reading on line is a better method than me scanning just a few pages. The two photos I mentioned of 19 Set parts production are in the digitised version of the book. I'd hate to think of today's value of the armful of WS19 wiring looms the lady is holding!

https://books.google.co.uk/books?isbn=0852962037

I have a CAT manual and I think it is a PYE publication with an address in Lowestoft. I will dig that out of the filing cabinet and check.

Good luck with the research.
