Abstract

The records cover the operation of the company under the Broomells and Burnham from 1877 to 1915 and are typical of a small machine shop. Orders and customer correspondence form the bulk of the archive and are arranged alphabetically by year. Given the primitive nature of the filing system, there are numerous misfiles and inconsistencies.
