World War Two jobs

According to the 1939 Register my Aunt worked as a "Viewer Auto & Aero Compositor", possibly in a factory in Bayton Road Exhall. Does anyone know what this job entailed please. Chris.

Hi Chris, welcome to the forum Not my area of knowledge I'm afraid but maybe someone can help you. It could be more of a specialist site question. Though we might nail it to a business in Bayton Road. Having looked at the map, in 1936-38, the road was two roads, one called Colliery Lane and the other Little Sydnall Lane. At that point there seem to be only pubs, farms and the Exhall Colliery. By 1950 it is called Bayton Lane and there is an aluminium works, a small W M works, whatever that is and the colliery is disused. Bayton Lane 1950

Not W M Works, Helen. There's a works, and there's a weighing machine

Thanks MR. Ok, a works producing or receiving heavy stuff.
