Lennie - Retailer or Manufacturer? |
|
The company appears to have been retailers rather than manufacturers of instruments for most of the duration of the business. The book "Brass & Glass: Scientific Instrument Making Workshops in Scotland" has been published by the National Museums of Scotland and is available from their bookshop at the museum in Edinburgh. It has a chapter devoted to the Lennie business. Alison Morrison Low |
