“Newton & Co.'s New Scientific Instrument Factory
Owing to greatly increased business, Messrs. Newton and Co., of Fleet Street, E.C., have found it necessary to open a new factory at 1, Little James Street, W.C., where in future the well-known 'Apps-Newton' induction coil, multiple-plate Wimhurst electrical machines for X-ray work, and instruments for wireless telegraphy will be made. This will relieve the strain on their Fleet Street factory, which will be devoted entirely to the manufacture of the projection and other forms of science lanterns for which this firm is noted. Lantern slides will, as hitherto, be made and finished at their Dalston and Islington factories.
”“Telegraph Cypher for Newton's Slides
In the new catalogue issued by Messrs Newton & Co., of Fleet Street, they have adopted a distinguishing letter or letters, such as A, B, C, L, T, etc., for their different sets of slides, an arrangement which will greatly expedite matters with those ordering sets by telegram. With one or two exceptions all the slides of this firm are now made at their new factory, and we learn that their popular set of slides of South Africa and the Transvaal are being added to.
