Here's a selection of news articles dating from 1956 around the time when Caterpillar established a factory in Scotland and also acquired the Birtley company

Great post, my cousin had a D2 in NZ that had a Birtley blade. I don't recall the balance of the system, whether the cylinders were like the ones on my D2 or were of a different manufacture. I'm also amused that even in that old ad, the copywriter was also throwing apostrophes in for plural. The editor must have been asleep that day.

Cheers,

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
