Thanks Lyn, isn't strange how a picture can stay in your memory, it must be 20 years...or more since I saw that, thanks for your reply

I've just found the picture, you were correct, the memory playing tricks again

Tyhoo has been 'rescued' by Supreme, a Vape maker, quite a combination!

It's happening everywhere, all of our factories are being moved out of the country, I'm clinging on to Yorkshire tea, still made in the UK.

Hello Kenh
My wife, Thelma Barlow was her maiden name, worked as a comptometer operator in the office at Ty-phoo. She joined on leaving school in 1953 and was there to 1960. She left the company when we got married and moved away from the Birmingham area. She thoroughly enjoyed her days at Ty-phoo and is still in touch with a friend who was in the office at the same time. Photograph attached.View attachment 179871

There must be a lot of people following your link Pedro. All I get at the moment is "server busy"

I managed to get through on the previous link. All you get to see is a table of contents and a back cover. There is something said about a library loan but I would assume you have to be a member of the library to see more. In addition the link/library is on archive.org which is blocked by some servers (including those run by Birmingham City Council) so you might not be able to get at it.

The book is available through the Internet Archive, and it looks like you may be that have to subscribe. It is free and I have not had any problems for over 10 years. Very useful for old publications.
