in october, the company made representations to change their name to ilford ltd, but the ilford urban district council objected. the ilford urban district council finally approved the name change from britannia works co. ltd. to' ilford ltd' provided there was a comma inserted after the name' ilford' and ltd was spelt in full i. e. ilford, limited. (the change of name to ilford, limited was finally registered on 24th december 1900; my thanks to gavin ritchie for this information). the comma continued in use, officially at least, until 1951 (maybe there was a 50year agreement with the council ?) but in practice it was dropped from advertising literature around 1935 (possibly the result of the area becoming the' municipal borough of ilford' in 1933 ?). (ref: d. m )
imperial was already under ilford limited influence by 1919, and was possibly already owned by ilford ltd. (see the chronology 1928 - 1930' slot' below). paul tells me, based upon information from the book
silver by the ton
( see text under' ilford chronology' above), that imperial produced one of these books each year until 1927. thereafter, it may have been deemed (by ilford ltd) time to let this book lapse and incorporate its information into the ilford manual of photography .

i purchased the ilford multigrade developer as a trial replacement for kodak dektol developer. surprisingly it developes as quickly as the kodak. even more surprising the mid - tones where actually more visible. the real kicker was that the ilford is actually less expensive of the two products. last but not least i haven' t found anything that i dislike about the ilford developer. i guess i won' t be going back to the kodak. thanks ilford
