A.B.Urfabriken Promotional Folder (circa late 50's)   

Awaiting more infomation from Len re the contents but in the meantime, my summary is as follows based on my scant knowledge of the Swedish language and inference from images within.

I believe this occured in late 50's to match the expansion of the new factory from what was then the small wooden building and is now the ABU Museum.



Gote Borgstom at the help, with Royal warrant over-looking him at work.



The newly built and much expanded factory on the banks of the Morrum River , Svangsta.



Mt Google may help you with complete translation !









The typing pool befor word processors took over and increased the efficiency of typing.



Long hand draftsmanship here, note production and sales graph with exponential growth!



Final adjustments for the Taximeters started in the 40's!



This heavy machinery is still able to be used today but CAD , Robotics for milling and some assembly is used today





Notice the worldwide distribution, to New York, New Zealand, Aruba and South Africa on these crates, holding both rods and reel and baits!
