Title: Construction of the Factory Model, 1963 [Go to resource]
Description: This model may have been made in connection with various changes that were taking place at the Reading Factory at this time. The first half of the 1960s saw the last of the North Factory buildings demolished. Three large 'inrobeurs' were installed for coating biscuits with chocolate, as well as a creaming machine and a number of high-speed packing machines which wrapped biscuits in foil at a rate of 100 per minute. Chocolate manufacturing was then moved from the Reading factory to Liverpool in 1966. One of the makers of this model was Mr W. Hinton, who is on the right in the photograph. He also made the case for the smaller model belonging to the Palmers Collection.
