Hi,
Thanks Colin. Whilst at Brooks I always considered Brook Motors the best production motors in the world and was proud to be part of the team. I don't know what quality is like these days now the motors are made abroad and I don't know many details as production was just being transferred abroad at the time of my retirement in December 2000.
I did however see many consignments arrive by shipping container into the export department these then transferred into stock. What was surprising though was that these were stock motors only so it meant any deviation involved extra work on the motors by the modification team which really didn't make sense to me; ship production abroad then import the motors only to strip them down again?
Its just sad how our once mighty manufacturing base has been allowed to decline the way it has; our departed great inventors would shudder if they could come back to see what goes on these days?
Kind regards, Col.
