==== Dictionary of Business Biography and Who Was Who ====

{{cross}} - no point in cluttering this page with the outstanding requests any longer. The article got GA status without the info, & I can live with that. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 00:05, 14 May 2011 (UTC)

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:

<s>* Sir Greville Simpson Maginness (born 1888)

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

* Herbert Chamberlain (1845-1904)

* Walter Chamberlain (b. 1847)

* Charles Churchill (b. 1838, USA - d. Feb 1916)

* John William Wright Gabriel (b. 1860)

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.</s>

Also, the article on Maginness in the periodical Sheet Metal Industries, volume 25 (1948) p. 1997 - there is a snippet view here [http://books.google.com/books?id=LDDWAAAAMAAJ&q=%22arthur+chamberlain%22+kynoch+%22churchill+machine+tool%22&dq=%22arthur+chamberlain%22+kynoch+%22churchill+machine+tool%22&hl=en&ei=H5krTZqpHYO3hQfChdjqCA&sa=X&oi=book_result&ct=result&resnum=1&ved=0CCkQ6AEwAA]. Long list, sorry, but thanks for any assistance. [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 05:48, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

:I am pretty sure that this Sheet Metal Industries item is available for full view in the US - if anyone in the USA is prepared to check this then I'd be grateful. It looks like it might fill a few gaps. - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 09:51, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

::Sorry, it looks like its just snippet view in the US as well. [[User:GabrielF|GabrielF]] ([[User talk:GabrielF|talk]]) 15:04, 20 February 2011 (UTC)

:::OK, thanks for trying. I'll leave this up for another week and then strike it. Looks like I'll have to find someone prepared to dig around in the British Library/Cambridge University Library - [[User:Sitush|Sitush]] ([[User talk:Sitush|talk]]) 15:23, 20 February 2011 (UTC)
