Thomas Smith and Sons ( Rodley) Ltd always marketed there cranes as Smith's not Smith-Rodleys.
The words Smith Rodley were cast into the rear counterweights on some models.

Yes to my eternal shame Smith-Rodley was already entered and I did not challenge it , I was young and naive :D
Which reminds me about George Fowell that automotive giant from Smethwick.
