Description

At the UTV studios, a man gives a demonstration in perfect wall-shelf assembly using Dexion shelving.  

Notes

Familiar to us now, Dexion Ltd (from the Greek for 'right') was established in 1937 in London by Australia-born engineer and printer Demetrius Comino, originally to deliver printing-related products. In solving problems within his printing business, Comino patented several products to improve efficiency in the printing process. However, his dissatisfaction with the poor versatility of traditional wooden shelving used to store paper and other materials led him to experiment with steel strips to devise a reusable shelving system. The Second World War delayed development of the product until 1947 when Comino was finally able to finance and open a small factory in Chingford, north-east London and after that business took off until the company ceased trading in 2003.
