Moore and Wright ended up as part of/linked to Bowers Metrology I think.

 

Regarding the Neill Tools group, Eclipse Magnetics are still around in Sheffield with Neill Tools.

 

I'm sure anyone will correct me if I'm wrong about the above details!

No, I didn't work in the fitting shop and I don't remember a bandsaw dept but I left in the early 70's maybe something changed after that.
