Description: | This photo shows the very cramped brass instrument assembly department at Boosey & Hawkes during the Second World War. Many departments within the factory were relocated and reorganised to make floor space and equipment available for the manufacture of the munitions and aircraft components that Boosey & Hawkes produced during the war. Instrument production and repair services were greatly pared down. A range of instruments in varying degrees of completion can be seen in this photo, including horns with piston valves, trumpets, trombones and tubas. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/2.5/ | Publisher: | Horniman Museum and Gardens | Rights holder: | Horniman Museum, London | Subjects: | work | Temporal: | circa 1940 | Source: | Horniman Museum | Identifier: | http://www.20thcenturylondon.org.uk/rser... | Go to resource |
