That leaves the years of WWII, for which it has been deduced that the operation was closed not least because of the royalty payments to Clark and to Berns (Martin operated the company with another chap, and Coggins operated it with yet another chap and his wife). We don't KNOW that it was closed during that period; it is a deduction based on a several pieces of information. We are always looking for more info -- significant new bits about both B-M and about Brill have turned up in just the last week -- and will doubtless work that out for sure, one way or another, at some point.
