About this work
Description
Matters discussed at meetings included the administration of the company and the board, statutory matters, the financial position of the company and distribution of profits, relations with other companies (often in the Coopers family), and particular products and manufacturing arrangements. These often included discussions on the company's Yalding (Kent) premises. Some matters connected with staff appointments are noted in the minutes.
