From Graces Guide
1926.

Note: This is a sub-section of Ferranti

Ferranti developed a non-magnetic type of austenitic cast iron in 1923, which they named 'NOMAG'. A spheroidal graphite variant called NODUMAG offered much higher tensile strength and good ductility. Iron castings were produced for many years at their Hollinwood foundry.

1962 Examples of castings produced: Large press plates for alternator stators (including complex 4 ton castings for Brown Boveri of Switzerland); Transmission line clamps; brackets for 'Printometer' instruments.[1]
