N/ANotes
Alan ColeThese draughtsman's tools were donated anonymously to the museum in around 2004, via a neighbour of the donor in California. The donor's father originally owned these tools and used them in Belfast in the design of RMS Titanic and, later, in the design work on R. J. Mitchell’s Spitfire fighter at Supermarine Aviation.
After the war the family emigrated to United States. The donor qualified in the same profession and used these and other tools, but saw the importance of the ‘Titanic’ tools and kept them safe.
