PROSPECTUS.
This Company is established to carry out, on an impor-
tant scale, the manufacture of steel under Bessemer's or
other patents, to construct steel ordnance, manufacture
steel shot and shell, draw steel wire, manufacture and erect
steam engines, boilers, and all kinds of machinery and im-
ietementsfor mining, manufacturing, and agricultural pur-
poses, and to carry on the business of engineers and mill-
wright% at Tavistock, in the county of Devon.
The Directors have entered into an agreement for the
purchase, on terms favourable for the Company, of the pre-
melees, machinery, plant, stock in trade. patent rights and
goodwill of the business of Messrs. Gill and Company,
Engineers and Iron-founders, of Tavistock, whose works
lave been successfully carried on for the last sixty years,
and who have long since established a reputation for the
excellence of their manufacture of steam engines and boilers,
'chains, hammered iron, edge tools, and every description of
raining and other machinery.
The property consists of about thirteen acres of land,
held under a long lease from the Duke of Bedford, and
comprises, besides the ground devoted to the works, a com-
fortable mansion with plantations and grounds, a house for
the manager, and cottages and gardens for the workmen,
all of which are let at remunerative rentals. There is also
-never-failing water-power, maintained at the cost of the
Duke of Bedford, sufficient to carry on all the operations of
the Company, and by means of which great economy and j
a proportionate increase of profit is secured.
The property and business thus purchased include several
valuable patent rights and contracts ; amongst others a very
advantageous contract for the extensive manufacture of
Crease's Pneumatic Tunnelling Engine; which are destined
-to effect a complete revolution in the scientific working of
mines; also a licence on favourable terms to manufacture
the Blakely guns, for which profitable contracts can be im-
mediately obtained. Other very important contracts, which
the board consider will alone produce a good dividend to
the shareholder; have been provisionally secured, and will
be completed as soon as the Company is in a position to
tiniertake them.
The Directors only consider it necessary to allude to the
large profits realised by the manufacture of steel (which at
the present cost of its manufacture ultimately take the place
of iron in most instances), arAd the remunerative business of
manufacturing steel ordnance, shot, and shell, for foreign
Governments, to satisfy
the shareholders that handsome
dividends will be realised.
The premises ar'J easily accessible by canal from Ply-
mouth Sound, an.a by railway from all other parts of the
kingdom, and oeing situated in the midst of a prosperous
and constantly increasing mining district, a large amount
of business with mines can be ensured.
The Company will take possession of the works on the
30th of Ase.il, 1864, and are to be entitled to the profits of
Messrs. G ill and Co.'s business since the 30th of September,
1863. as -,eell as the benefit of all contracts entered into since
that de.te. No promotion money whatever will be paid.
