carosio   186 #27 Posted April 7, 2009 (edited) I worked there for a short period sometime '66-68 down in the basement where they rumbled the scissors in pebbles - cyanide was also used in this process. The chap in charge of the rumblers had a strange vocabulary and a very short temper! Poor quality, mass produced scissors I thought, rather like Richardsons, cashing in on the Sheffield name.

I also remember the lady manager up in the office, who seemed quite nice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
