BSA No 1 Mk III* 1935 Production

[breakeyp]

The history of BSA book comments that the Iraqi order was the first big order since the Siam (1020's) ordfer. Most of the tooling had been stored(apparently interwar commercial militaries were built up from stored parts) and the assembly workers laid off. The book detailed that many of the workers were retired and they used sons who were taught what to do by their dads. Best as I can remember without digging out the book.
