Very strange indeed, will let you know if we find the reference, and such a contrast with Leyland Motor Co in Tradeston from 1933, five years earlier, in a not quite as bad but still fairly precarious state #SouthsideModernesghet.com/project/jame...
Most popular structure, that is. Will have to dig out my copy of 'The Scottish Thirties' by McKean as think that's where I saw this claim, although it might just have been a lockdown fever dream ;)
