Administrative / Biographical History
D McGregor & Co was one of a number of companies in Glasgow making and repairing nautical instruments in the late 19th century. They were based in Clyde Place, Glasgow and also had premises in Greenock and Liverpool. The Indenture of Apprenticeship with Peter Currie was signed on 19 October 1889, and the parchment is endorsed on the satisfactory completion of the apprenticeship on 19 October 1895. As a journeyman instrument maker following his apprenticeship Peter Currie worked with local companies Dobbie McInnes & Co, and Barr & Stroud, and subsequently with the Glasgow and South West Railway (later London, Midland and Scottish Railway). He retired in 1942 at the age of 65.
