Charlton (thus Colin Terris) also states Paul Ysart joined Caithness in 1962.

It also occurs to me the signed weight changes the history of Caithness weights by 7 years! Hopefully Kevin you can get more information from John S. as I cannot think of anyone else that would be useful in exploring this apparently 'unknown' history.

Thought I saw thembeing brought by the same ID last night, which I think is Larry Selmans buying ID.....  I might be wrong though....

Yes, wrong, sunshine.

One was a regular here on the GMB, based in Germany.

The other was from the USA, but not Larry.   I think Larry Selman's ebay ID is "w8s".

Hi,

re: PY joining in 1962 or 1963, I raised this question in conversation with Peter Holmes in December 2007, and Peter was quite certain that he himself joined CG in January 1963, and that he had met Paul at the blacksmith's the previous summer.

I sometimes can't remember which year I joined / left several companies 10 or 20+ years ago, unless I check my CV...

So, I'm not sure Paul would in 1978, at which point he was 74.

I believe that his period of consultancy, mentioned above, explains the discrepancy as the information on when he left Moncrieff is reasonably reliable. So I will amend my records/sites accordingly. Documentary proof will unlikely be available until the social security records are available, later this century.
