George Beaton and Son Limited. Founded 1881. George's father, Samuel, was a wheel chair manufacturer. Over the years manufactured motor and aircraft fitting. Became a Public Company in 1928 and is now a division of Fanuc Robotics, whom I believe supplied robots for the manufacture of the Metro at the Longbridge West Works - the most advanced robotic manufacturing plant at the time in the world.
