John Gilinsky Posted 5 March , 2023 Author Share Posted 5 March , 2023 Copy carefully the url or better yet Google for Grace's Guide to British Industrial History and using the website search box put in Directory 1918. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidearm Posted 5 March , 2023 Share Posted 5 March , 2023 (edited) The entire document is on Grace's Guide. Each page is a separate pdf, which is a pain but it's still usable - in fact I use it regularly. There is a paper copy at The National Archives at Kew, but so far as I'm aware, the TNA have not digitised it. So far as tanks are concerned, this is my area of research and I have a very long list of component manufacturers.

John Gilinsky Posted 5 March , 2023 Author Share Posted 5 March , 2023 Tx Sidearm but the online version is in jpg format NOT pdf meaning you need to convert jog to pdf for OCR. Do you know the TNA call number if the paper copy is in their TNALibrary rather than the archives OR is their copy in most likely the MUN series?

Either way what's on Graces Guide is usable. I should know, a few years ago I went through every page in detail. Gwyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
