I am trying to track down biographical information for the article on [[Churchill Machine Tool Company]] and would be grateful if anyone has access to either or both of the Dictionary of Business Biography (ed: David J Jeremy, Butterworths 1984-86, 5 volumes, isbn for the first is 0406273413)<s> or really old copies of Who Was Who</s> could see look into any available entries for:

* Arthur Chamberlain (d. circa 1941 - not his father, who had same name and who died in 1913) - sorted, thanks to [[user:Smallman12q]]

All of the above were directors of Charles Churchill & Co Ltd and/or The Churchill Machine Tool Co Ltd. & they mostly had fingers in many pies.
