 An application for an interlocutory injunction to prevent any manufacture pending a trial outcome was refused at a hearing (the defendant undertaking instead to pay a royalty of five shillings per engine to be held in a deposit account and later apportioned after a trial ruling).The trial never took place and the machine was discontinued after a production run estimated at 3,000 to 4,000.The company known as AN Clark (Engineers) Limited went into administration, and a new business - Clark Masts Limited - was formed to carry on manufacture of the core-business product.
