What happened to all the Ransomes factory drawings for all the lawnmower parts ? I believe the bought out items also had drawings, such as the Ajax side frames (made by Birmal.)

They are probably deposited with the Museum of English Rural Life in Reading I attach a link below which gives a general description of what they hold, an individual search on their website will reveal more, the archivist & staff there are very knowledgeable & cooperative with those researching Ransomes history.
