Looking at the name of the machine, was it Langston and Masson, or something very similar. I worked on these corrugator machines on maintenance at Westbrook Packaging, Burscough, between 1970-77. From the noise of these machines especilly the single facing sections i have now got tinnitus and hearing loss, we didnt hve ear protection then. Bet a few other employees have the same?
