I have had H E Green's frame building records plus a notebook in which he sketched out fancy lug designs - from these I have no doubt that he built his own frames. He set up his own shop in 1953 and closed in 1965 after building 631 frames. I do have some notes I did from an interview I conducted in the mid to late 1980s which I can look out...
