This collection comprises seven ledgers connected to the production of Wheatstone concertinas, specifically production at the Boosey and Hawkes Edgware Factory under the direction of Sid Watkins. It includes three production ledgers covering the dates 1910-1923, 1923-1937, 1937-1974, one production ledger for Anglo-German system concertinas dated 1953-1974, two day books dated 1961-1969 and 1972-1974, and one volume containing reed charts (unknown date, but pre-1974).
Volumes ARC/DIC/001-004 and ARC/DIC/006 were digitised between 2003 and 2005 by the Horniman Museum as part of a project to digitise registers held at the Horniman relating to the production of Wheatstone & Co. concertinas. These digital images are also available to view for free online at: http://www.horniman.info/
