1952 Obituary [1]

It is with regret that we note the death of Mr. C. C. Claxton, the joint managing director and secretary of the Sheffield Twist Drill and Steel Company, Ltd., on August 8th.

Mr. Claxton was born at Peterborough in 1899, and after joining the firm at an early age, he spent four years in the United States of America gaining engineering experience.

On his return to this country in 1924, he rejoined the company under his father, the late Charles William Claxton. He became a director in 1936 and after his father's death in 1943, became joint managing director.
