abstract	LAMBERT ENGINEERING CO (GLASGOW) LIMITED (1957-1968) Coatbridge, Glasgow Scotland LAMBERT-HYDROCON ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED (1958-1985) Rochdale, Lancashire England J N CONNELL CONSTRUCTION LIMITED (1959-1987) Feltham, Middlesex England. The company was originally an engineering firm owned by Jack Lambert who sold it to George Jesner who designed the Hydrocon brand of crane, staring with a staff of one in 1949. The name was an amalgam of HYDRaulic CONstruction with an 'O' added in the middle. Hydrocon manufacture started in Maryhill docks in Glasgow, then moved to Burnfield works in Giffnock now the site of Harry fairbairn's Mini centre. The first crane was bought by the engineering contractor Brown & Tawse, who became sales agents for Hydrocons in the north of England and also offered maintenance services from their workshops. In the late '50s they moved to the former coal board site in Coatbridge, that was formerly the Summerlee Iron Works, and a small part of the Hydrocon site is now Summerlee Heritage Museum. By then the company payroll was close to 500! In 1963 George Jesner sold the business to a UK Public Company called General Electrical Mechanical Systems Ltd. (G.E.M.S.) and joined their board. Shortly after he became Deputy Chairman of the PLC, until his death in 1968. (Confirmed D Jesner.) Initially the cranes were built on ex- War Department vehicles, which George Jesner would buy up at sales and refurbish before installing the crane unit & glassfibre cab. Later when steel production returned to normal as rationing finished in the 1950's, the cranes used Thornycroft chassis and then Albion and Foden built units. Later, they built custom units using proprietary components by major UK manufacturers such as the Ford trader chassis as it had 4 wheel drive. The circular raised panels on the cab had a full colour transfer logo of a Highlander, complete with kilt and claymore, with the cab interiors trimmed in a red tartan.
