Abstract: Abstract In 1967 the Colchester Lathe Company (CLC), part of the George Cohen 600 Group, won the Queen’s Award both for technological and for export achievement. The former award was in recognition of new methods of lathe manufacture based on assembly-line principles. The central feature of this assembly line was a hydrostatic conveyor system known as ‘Flowline’ which was developed by CLC in order to move partially assembled lathes between work stations.
