FACTORY PAGE 18 / 1 Inside AEC Southall Main Drawing Office - c.1962 It can be seen from this photo, believed to have been taken by draughtsman Derek Preston, that the office had undergone its first extension. This picture was taken from the north-east corner of the older section. Senior Designers occupied the row closest to the camera, the windows on the left overlooking the AEC Sports Field. The two rows of boards and desks on the nearside of this picture constituted the 'Design Side' of the office, whereas the two rows of boards and desks on the far side was the 'Production Side'. This invisible divide was almost tangible within the department. PAGES IN THIS SECTION - or Click on Pic for Next View View 1 - - - Arial view of AEC Works Notebook Index
