Scope and Content Detail of makers' plate on steam engine in South Dudhope Jute Works, Smellies Lane, Dundee, Tayside A royal burgh since c.1191, Dundee was famous for the 'three J's': journalism (D C Thomson, publishers of The Beano and The Dandy); jam (Keillers was a household name for marmalade); and jute, which had its heyday from the 19th to the late 20th century. This is the makers' plate from the steam engine in the jute works of Alexander Henderson & Sons. It bears the name James Carmichael & Company who made the engine in their foundry in Dundee in 1899. Dismantled for scrap in 1967, the engine had worked 154 looms and four dressing machines as well as powering a generator, made by Lowdon Brothers & Company of Dundee, which supplied the factory with electricity.
