Scope and Content Detail of control panel on generator, South Dudhope Jute Works, Smellies Lane, Dundee, Tayside A royal burgh since c.1191, Dundee was famous for the 'three J's': journalism (D C Thomson, publishers of The Beano and The Dandy); jam (Keillers was a household name for marmalade); and jute, which had its heyday from the 19th to the late 20th century. This is the control panel of a generator, made by Lowdon Brothers & Company of Dundee, which supplied the electricity for the jute works of Alexander Henderson & Sons. It was powered by a steam engine made by James Carmichael & Company of Dundee in 1899. The steam engine also worked 154 looms and four dressing machines in the jute works. It was dismantled for scrap in 1967. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
