    Gedore Whitworth's arrived today, to join the lone 3/8"W I had. Been doing a bit of older machinery lately, hence the need for the combo's to add to a set of whitworth sockets. Curiously each size has a unique letter code: e.g. UB, SC, VI... The finish is not particularly good, certainly not...
