I'm not sure I understand "at the same address albeit dormant." They do not produce anything but still have an office? Paying the bills how? Maybe this a term used in Britain I'm not familiar with? Classic content: It'd be nice to know what became of the old manufacturers. Something to add to the CR site? "the xxxx company went bankrupt, changed name, was bought out or merged with xxxx company; bombed out in war; etc."
