Thank you in advance. I once visited the works but that's all. I have no information about Smiths. I do have parts books and technical information about NCK if that is also of interest to you. They would be for sale though, as they are not strictly my property.

It seems that there is almost impossible to come on such material. But anyhow, thank you for your offer.
