ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

A great many people have helped with the compilation of this book, both now and in 1975 when the idea first arose. I should like to extend my sincere thanks to all of them for their time, efforts and encouragement. It would not be possible to list everyone, but particular thanks are due to;

The staff of the Mitchell Library's Glasgow Room, Photographic Dept and Strathclyde Regional Archives for their guidance and patience.

William Macdonald and his colleagues at Anderson Group PLC, without whose support this book would not have been produced.

David Gibson, Nonie Stenlake and Susan Baird for their comments on the manuscript.
