    No brake cables - they're all rod-actuated.

    From a Google Book source..."Post-Famine Ireland: Social Structure: Ireland As It Really Was" "John O Neill's bicycle factory in Dublin was started in 1894 originally assembling the bicycles but not manufacturing all the parts ( Weekly Irish Times April 5th 1913)" I don't have access to the newpaper archives to look that up!

    O Mac Thank you! I'm off to check now...

    OSI Map showing "Biscuit factory".
  • Carol Maddock said:
    But the bigger mystery of how they ever got the figs into the Fig Rolls is solved here...
  • John Spooner said:
    Freeman's Journal of May 26 1883 reported a fire at Messrs Jacob's Biscuit Factory in Peter Street. The damage done was enormous", but could have been worse but for the actions of the night watchman, Patrick Mooney, and the Fire Brigade under the command of Captain Boyle and Lieutenant Boyle.
  • Sharon Corbet said:
    There's a ground floor floorplan of the factory available and I think I can make out a "cutter room" towards the centre. (However, the floorplans date from 1956, so I presume there may have been a few changes made.)
