CHUBB padlock information on markings

[Huw Eastwood]

This a mock up WHS (Bill Stanton) made in the 60's when he was with Chubb R&D; the Ministry insisted on a anti-pressure device be added once they learned that the lock could be compromised. The design was successful and adopted. They were typically used on mail/diplomat bags. This is artefact number: 595 should anyone wish to see it when visiting the Heritage Rooms.

Amazing how often Bill Stanton's name pops up- a true legend in the industry. Wasn't he the only person ever entrusted with disassembling and refurbishing the Aubin Trophy in the Late 1960s or early 70s ?
