I have fond memories of working at RNG, I think in 1970, or 1971. My firm was Noel Wainwright electrical contractors. We were called in for electrical work the factory electrical department either did not have the capacity to cope with, or as was also suggested, to dirty for their own staff. As a young apprentice electrician that did not bother me, in face it was quite an adventure. Only drawback was needing a long thorough bath each night when getting home. Ceilings at the hot end had a thick coating of soot and accidentally dragging ones hair through it resulted in a thick black shower of clinging soot. Happy days though. Kinda sorry to find the factory closed down several years ago.

Hi Daniel, did you find out any information about your jar? I have recently found one myself whilst digging in the garden. Mine looks exactly the same as yours. I was just wondering if you could shed any light on its history. Thanks
