MOTOR WORKS TO BE REOPENED
Purchased By The Admiralty
(Special Air Mail Service)
Glasgow. September 28.
We are informed that the Argyll Works, Alexandria, Dum- bartonshire, bave been acquired by, Messrs. Turner, MacFarlane y& Co, solicitors, Glasgow, on behalf of the Admiralty for an ex- tension of its torpedo factory at Fort Matilda, Grenock, says the "Glasgow Herald."
The price paid has not been disclosed, but we understand that as soon as the works can be adapted to the requirements' of the Admiralty, employment will be afforded for at least 1000 men,
The Argyll Works, which were planned on a grand scale and designed to permit of large extensions, were established in 1905- 1906, when Argyll Motors, Ltd, started the manufacture of motor cars. The various shops at the works are of imposing dimensions, and the site is ideal for transport facilities, and there is ample supples of water, gas, and electricity.
Although primarly designed for the production of motor cars, an industry which enjoyed little more than three years duration In Alexandria, the works have, been put to various uses, the plant and equipment being readily adaptable to the requirements of several industries.
