E E Baguley Ltd was founded in 1932 of Uxbridge Street, Burton-on-Trent, to continue the work of the earlier firm Baguley Engineers Ltd in 1931. Most of the earlier output of the firm was under the Drewry name with the headquarters at River Place, London E.C.2, and the variable link with Drewry is frequently confusing, as many "Drewry of London" vehicles were actually built at Baguley’s in Burton. On 18th December 1966 E. E. Baguley and the Drewry Car Co Ltd amalgamated and the company named changed to Baguley-Drewry on the 1st June 1967

- Rhodesian Selection Trust LtdBiographyBiography
The Rhodesian Selection Trust Ltd (RST) was a copper mining corporation which operated in the Copperbelt region of Northern Rhodesia. The RST was formed by Irish-American mining magnate, Alfred Chester Beatty in 1928. In 1926, RST took over the Roan Antelope and Rietbok claims from the Bwana Mkubwa Company and the Rhodesia Copper and General Exploration and Finance Company, with the RST dominating the company shareholdings. RST became Roan Selection Trust in 1964 subsequent to the break-up of the Central African Federation and the independence of Northern Rhodesia as the new state of Zambia.
