Just happened on your mail requesting information on the Threshing Mill. My grandfather, – John Thompson Garvie, owned the factory; I still remember how the machines where made (one giant steam engine turning a shaft the ran the entire length of the building and all other machines took power off that via endless belts). When he died in the 1950’s the business was taken over by my uncle Donald Garvie who died 2? years ago.; the business was dissolved about 20 years ago. I have just started my investigations into my history and I know the factory was in existence in the last century, run by my great Grandfather Robert Glegg Garvie. My aunt Mrs Leckie is still alive and lives in Aberdeen. I have heard there still are some working Garvie threshing machines in Ireland. The original color was a shocking pink (probably good advertising); I would much appreciate a photo of the machine by e-mail or ordinary post if you have one.

I live in the US at present but am in the UK 2-3 times a year. Pleae contract me directly if you need more info.
