A fascinating collection of late 19ths / early 20th century Draughtsman's tools - all relating to an FC Warren (and later FW Warren, his son). The collection comprises many of his tools that he used and owned during his time with the Great Western Railway (GWR) after the First World War. Various compasses, measures, rules, instruments etc are included as well as his leather bound tape measure etc. Many of the rules are stamped for Stanley Of London. A fascinating an important collection. From the vendor: F.C. Warren was born in 1872 of British parents in Rangoon, India, and later served with distinction in the Boar War. On the family's return to England he joined the Great Western Railway as a draughtsman, rising to become Chief Clerk at London Paddington in the 1920s. He authored many carefully researched articles for the GWR Magazine and was highly respected for his knowledge of railway structure and history. He also produced pamphlets and newspaper articles on his ancestral county of Dorset where again his research was meticulous and well regarded. Apart from being a talented draughtsman he was also a good artist. He passed his mathematical talents and passion for the railway on to his son Frederick William Warren who inherited the comprehensive set of draughtsmen's tools now on sale. F.W. Warren was employed by the GWR from the 1930s to the1960s, and the intervening World War meant that his surveying skills were much in demand helping to repair enemy action damage to the permanent way over a large area of the West County and London. He was based at Gloucester and had a happy family life producing two daughters who are still living.
