Sorry to see the passing of a Rootes employee so involved with the Tiger.

I never held much stock in the "big bruiser of a man" comment but who of us
did not see that big man swinging the hammer in our minds eye after reading
those lines.   It's a wonderfully catchy story line and one that will
probably never go away.  We can only smile and sigh.

You can't do production numbers by waiting for the big bruiser to mall the
transmission tunnel.  You would need all the Rugby players in the UK on
staff to meet production numbers.  The only time I can think of a big
bruiser swinging the big mallet would be in the Experimental department when
they were experimenting.   Actually it does not take a big bruiser to swing
a big hammer unless it's a 20 lb. sledgehammer.

Production numbers are accomplished by engineering the correct parts and the
correct jigs for the transmission tunnel.  I would think Royden saw to that.

In a Tiger garage long, long ago, a
lone young used Tiger owner was=20
examining his engine compartment
to figure out why the steering=20
geometry of his newly acquired used
car was so... BAD.  OMG he said
when he found an obviously damaged
section of his frame rail just in front of
the engine mount...  "this thing has been
wrecked!". Luckily he didn't freak and sell
the thing in 1971 and later found out that
all Tigers have this crude "damage".   Does
anyone else think that maybe this "careful
hand workmanship" could have been the
origin of the "big mate with the sledgehammer"?
I have never built an Alger but I bet a small guy
with a claw hammer could do the same mod...
I'll shut up if you guys tell me it was done with
precision factory jigs to enable the incredible
production schedule...
