Steel Rule
Steel rule or straight edge. A partly illegible label says that it was used at Underwoods, Dalton Road in around 1958. Inscribed 'CHESTERMAN, SHEFFIELD, ENGLAND NO 90'. The donor, David Winstanley, was a ship's draughtsman at Vickers Armstrong Shipbuilders, Barrow in Furness during the 1950s and 60s.
