20 x "Engineer's Pocket Diary" made by Letts and branded "George Wailes & Co Ltd, General Engineers and Tool Merchants", dating from 1924 to 1944 with only two years missing from the Series (1935 and 1938). The diaries record Rex Wailes' professional and personal engagements during this period, including a note on 16 June 1924 recording the day upon which he started working at George Wailes & Co's offices at 386 Euston Road, London N.W.1 and noting the outbreak of WWII whilst on a trip to the US in September 1939. The final Engineer's Diary (branded "Eclipse Steel Tools (Sheffield)") is from 1950.
The Series includes two address books: one is from 1929 and is inscribed, "To Mr Rex from Elsie with best wishes for Christmas 1929". The second is a repurposed "Kalamazoo Loose Leaf Account Book" manufactured by Morland & Impey and dated 29 September 1917, a note in pencil advising, "keep in cheque drawer". Many entries date from between 1948 and 1950 and feature several names familiar to English milling history and photography.
