Here we see an Inspector checking the surface quality of aluminium circles before interleaving with tissue paper & packing them for despatch to the customer. Aluminium alloy circles of this size might have been used for beer barrel production at the Grundy Factory in Teddington, or by FW Thorpe in Birmingham for spinning into large high bay lighting reflectors.
