The electrical division of Dowty Equipment, Ltd., has lately been incorporated in Dowty Nucleonics, Ltd., and the design team at Royal House, Cheltenham, is moving to Brockhampton together with the sales and estimating departments and model shop. The factory at Tewkesbury, with its 200 employees, now becomes the production plant for Dowty Nucleonics.
