I worked as kitchen assistant at the fradley depot in 80s . another depot just down the road was called if i remember right the "B-90" does anyone remember this.
The "Lucas B90" was the reconditioned spares such as wiper motors, starter motors, dynamos, etc that Joseph Lucas supplied. New items went to the car manufacturers. When a dynamo for instance failed it would be exchanged for a B90 unit which was much cheaper.
A reconditioning plant perhaps, people used to say it was dirty work at the B-90.
In the summer months the workers would rush to the mucky duck , quickly drink a beer then rush back. so not to be late.
