metal box

Eley Bros. had a cartridge factory at Tile Kiln Lane near Weir Hall by 1865 (fn. 29) and moved to Angel Road in 1903. The old works were sold in 1919 to a motor firm but apparently had disappeared by 1926. 

...

Most factories in Palmers Green, however, were built along the North Circular Road and Green Lanes during the 1920s and 1930s. One of the largest was that of the Metal Box Co., which in 1929 acquired a perfume factory established in 1914 in Blind Lane (Chequers Way). Metal Box started rebuilding in 1934, when Blind Lane disappeared in the North Circular, and had some 900 employees there in 1973.

摘要：449,338. Vacuum closures and lids for boxes &c. BARLOW, R., 28, Kingsway, and STUCHBERY, A. L., Chequers Works, North Circular Road, Palmers Green, both in London. Feb. 5, 1935, No. 3718. [Classes 18 and 125 (iii)] A vacuum closure for a box or like container comprises a slidable lid with packing material 3 between it and the box and arranged so that it is retained with the box after destruction of the vacuum. The packing is seated upon an inward or outward curl 2, or upon an inward or outward flange which may be grooved, formed on the box, and the lid is provided with depending flanges 6 adapted to engage under the curl 2 or with inwardly or outwardly grooved portions of the box. The lid may be cut away at 13 to expose the packing to enable the vacuum to be' readily destroyed, and may be provided with a rib or indentation 14 to facilitate opening by the thumb. Preferably one end flange 11 is formed to limit movement of the lid but the indentation 14 may be adapted for this purpose, or the flanges may be provided with tongues extending across the underside of the box to co-operate with pips therein. The invention is applicable to metal boxes, but the body may be of glass and the lid of metal, or either or both may be moulded from material such as that sold under the Registered Trade Marks " Cellophane " or " Bakelite."

Die Cast Machine Tools Ltd, also known as DCMT, for its toy products. DCMT started production in 1939 in "The Bridge Garage", Green Lanes, Palmers Green,

London,  In 1947 DCMT started producing metal toys in the "River Works", 152 Green Lanes, Palmers Green, London and the founders soon started searching for a brand name that would be more appealing to the toy market than the name "DCMT" and they decided to use the name "Slikka Playthings" or sometimes "Slikka Toys". http://www.google.com.sa/imgres?um=1&hl=en&safe=off&sa=N&tbo=d&rlz=1C1SKPC_enGB366&biw=1366&bih=677&tbm=isch&tbnid=aw1kG_MkHnrjSM:&imgrefurl=http://boweslabour.blogspot.com/2011_02_01_archive.html&docid=4fXT4V7SL0ZCgM&imgurl=https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4JgFY1OSNDzUd5mn2zFEZ-pvCXXhqfjb7xj17gfyrM4_AHH-1fBNDQThVSCqGNyftdpN-Uap6XkYYW0XceJIKizTi6YQch1eeUOopn942m6t0bpfHlq5zPWyZRTm-WlRSmbim-Zw15a9E/s1600/Tile%252BKiln%252Bcleanup%252B12%252BFeb%252B2011%252Bnr%252B4.jpg&w=1600&h=958&ei=K72yUM7PCI210QX7q4DQDg&zoom=1&iact=hc&vpx=207&vpy=135&dur=2828&hovh=174&hovw=290&tx=98&ty=121&sig=112601627085948545877&page=1&tbnh=155&tbnw=246&start=0&ndsp=23&ved=1t:429,r:16,s:0,i:130 http://boweslabour.blogspot.co.uk/
