History dude Posted March 2, 2018 Share Posted March 2, 2018 Did Tinsley Wire make springs for cars? I had a friend that worked there if they did. If true then I have a photo of him working there. Which I could post. I can't remember if it was the same place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
History dude Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 Found and scanned the image. This is Philip Greville working there making a spring in 1990. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old rider Posted March 3, 2018 Share Posted March 3, 2018 I don't know about springs for cars. I did go there a couple of times too service a couple of Induction heaters that were used in the production of plastic coated wire in the building running parallel with Atterclife Road. At the end of the line a very large holder full of wire fed wire through straitening rollers our unit heated it to around 700C. It was then passed into a machine that extruded a green plastic coating on the wire. The coated wire then went to machines that were almost like a sort of loom that wove it into "diamond shaped" wire fencing of various widths. The wire was drawn somewhere else on the site.
