Scope and Content Detail of makers' plate on safety cut-out valve on steam engine, 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 makers' plate from the safety cut-out valve on a steam engine made by James Carmichael & Company of Dundee in 1899 for the jute works of Alexander Henderson & Sons. The valve was made by James Tate in Bradford. Dismantled for scrap in 1967, the steam engine had worked 154 looms and four dressing machines in the jute works. It also powered a generator, made by Lowdon Brothers & Company of Dundee, which supplied the factory with electricity. Source: RCAHMS contribution to SCRAN.
