Thomond - Other mechanics

Other mechanics

The chief mechanic for the Thomond cars was Ben Parsons.
There were some assistant mechanics.

Worked on painting Thomond no.3 in 1930:

• John McNamara,
  born 1909.
  I met him in 1992.

• Tommy McNamara,
  born 1912.
  I met him in 1983.
  He died c.1989.

Worked on the later Thomond project at Jones' garage:

• Mick O'Brien,
  born 1916.
  He was a junior mechanic on the later Thomond project. Must be Thomond no.4 in 1933.
  When Ben Parsons set up his own garage in 1938, Mick O'Brien joined him.
  He became foreman in Parsons' garage for 20 years.
  Then set up his own garage at 8 Herbert Lane, Dublin.
  He died 19 Aug 1982, age 66 yrs.
