The reason for the early change was that the trigger mech parts were all sub contracted out. The system for that sort of production wasn't streamlined and caused severe bottlenecks. The CISA told Cheshunt (the relocated DD(E) office) to get it simplified which they did.

There's clearly not a lot of collector interest in the Lanchester. Certainly not as much as I thought there'd be.
during the period it took to build 95,000 Lanchesters, about 4,000,000 Stens were manufactured and the Lanchester had a bit of a head start...
