Administrative / Biographical History
Laighpark Electric Motors Ltd , electrical engineers and manufacturers, Paisley, Renfrewshire, Scotland, was registered on 31 December 1931 . The company was based at Albion Engineering Works, Laighpark, Paisley, bought for å£500, with an office at Bothwell Street, Glasgow, Scotland. They bought the moveable assets of Walter McGhee & Sons Ltd, electrical engineers and manufacturers, Glasgow, for the sum of å£1000 in 1932.
