For very many years FLUXITE used to advertise in the Wireless World and probably other engineering books with the cartoon characters 'The FLUXITE Quins at Work'
This one is from the WW dated February 1945.

One of FRY'S big works was just along the road from my shop at Tandem works, Christchurch Road Colliers Wood, London S.W.19.

It was an amazing foundry building that looked like a temple with a copper dome and clock. Dashed to pieces years ago to make way for yet more shopping that was not required and cannot be afforded. You know the sort of thing.They didn't even keep the fantastic dome and clock tower.

I have two tins of Fluxite with amazing picture lids! Only used for soldering to steel chassis these days but it had a very strong connection with the early radio manufactures. John.
