    There are some incredible photos of Doxford Engines in its machine shops. It's hard to believe that all has gone now though and all those skills lost - a shame..

    This is great! The bridge looks so close to this today, makes me miss living in Sydney.
  • Christian Biggins said:
    Except the trains have been shunted off the side because of how many cars there are.

    I love exploring our history, I recently assisted my daughter with a project on the building of the Sydney Harb Bridge and whilst I didn't have access at the time to this site I had the pleasure of locating various photo's which I saved and reprinted via a USB and a Store, my daughter intends keeping her "A" mark for this assignment, the pics make it so realistic as though you were there taking pics

    Its interesting that there appears to be train lines on both sides of the bridge where these days the line is only one side.
  • Darren Davis said:
    Great stuff State Library. There were trains on that side (as they still are today) and I think trams ran on the opposite side where cars now drive.

    Jackson & MacDonald, 360-362 Kent Street, Sydney (1927). In 1906, Messrs. S.J. Jackson and D.S. Macdonald commenced business in Sydney as jobbers (wholesalers) of ‘Edison’s cylinder records and phonographs. A few years later they began importing talking machines to play the new ‘disc’ records and these were marketed under the trademark ‘REXOPHONE’. The next step was to import motors, tonearms and soundboxes from S.A. Thorens, Switzerland, which were assembled in Sydney to locally made talking machine cabinets and sold under the ‘REXOPHONE’ trademark. Early in the nineteen twenties, the ‘PRISMATIC’ Reflector Sound Chamber was patented. Made of wood it gave a much-improved volume, purity, and richness of tone for which ‘REXONOLAS’ were famous. The peak of production was reached about 1928/9 when more than 100 people were employed at the cabinet factory, and 120 people in the warehouse. Early in the 1930s, the development of radio receivers and the Great Depression caused a collapse, and production of ‘REXONOLAS’ and ‘REXOPORTS’ ceased about 1935.
