"Brass" pick-ups
I have decided to ask for a citation that the second type of pick-ups are made of brass. Brass would be an unsuitable material for that sort of component, they have a colour that is not brass, and brass would wear out very quickly.

- Almost certainly Phosphor-bronze, but I can't find a citable reference. Also Minic appears to have been OO not HO ?

Tri-ang didn't stop in 1972
What about Triang-Pedigree and Sharna Tri-ang? And what finally happened to the business? 87.194.252.72 13:26, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

Didn't it go bust in the late 1970s or maybe early 1980s? There was a famous spoof of the 'Made in Wales' TV advert (maybe by Not the Nine O'Clock News), with the line 'Failed in Wales', listing Triang as one of the companies that had gone bust there. Ben Finn (talk) 20:03, 31 March 2010 (UTC)

How many Lines brothers?
The following is inconsistent: "Joseph (or Joe) had four sons. All of these formed Lines Bros Ltd soon after World War One. They were William, Walter and Arthur Lines. Three Lines making a triangle - hence Tri-ang." Did Joe have three or four sons? Roly (talk) 12:23, 15 January 2013 (UTC)

Joseph Lines had 4 sons and 4 daughters
The other son, George (1888-1983), so younger than William and Walter, but older than Arthur, did an engineering apprenticeship in Germany and then Switzerland, and was then in the Royal Engineers during the First World War. He then went into farming, until the 1922/23 depression. He then worked for Lines Brothers at Merton.

He was my Grandfather.
