Unusual that if G&J had stopped using these box-section stocks by the early 1920s that two appear for their 36cwt tenors (1935 & 1936).<br><br>

Carisbrooke and Newport Pagnell are other<BR>
examples which spring to mind. I've heard a story that Taylor's claimed<BR>
they had a copyright on the design and would sue Gilletts unless they<BR>
stopped using them, and Gilletts backed down and started using the<BR>
web-section stocks instead. Anyone know whether this is true?<BR>
