Administrative History
R & A Main had its origins in the 1870s in Glasgow as the Argyle Ironmonger Company, which made cooking appliances. Robert B Main and Mathew Waddell then formed the firm of Waddell & Main. In 1879 the company amalgamated with Thomas Glover & Co to form Glover & Main Ltd. In 1884 R B Main went into partnership with his brother, A P Main to form the firm R & A Main. Glover & Main Ltd established the Gothic works at Camelon in 1900 and at Edmonton in 1899. The Camelon works were closed in 1964
