Hammond Electric Light and Power Supply Co

From Graces Guide

1883 New Factory for the making of Incandescent Lamps at Bermondsey Street.[1]

Presumably connected with Robert Hammond, an early supplier of electricity generation systems and lighting.

1883 Ferranti, Thompson and Ince was wound up at the end of the year and its affairs amalgamated with the Hammond Electric Light and Power Supply Co[2].

1884 Various companies which had been wound up held their final meeting at the offices of this company in Finsbury - presumably indicative of the Hammond company having acquired their affairs[3]:

1884 Description and drawings of 1000-light Ferranti generator for J. and J. Colman of Norwich. 'Since the close of the Fisheries Exhibition, Messrs. Ferranti, Thompson, and Ince have combined with the Hammond Electric Light Company, the business being carried on under the name of the latter firm.'[4]
