This original report contradicts what is given in the 4BR archive on several counts, most importantly regarding the Deepcar band, which the original report makes clear was the same band as the "Stockbridge Works" band. 4BR lists these as separate bands, giving each a draw number and a conductor for only "Stockbridge Works" ("H. Biltcliffe") who is not attested in this original source.
