Amalgamated Instrument Makers Trade Society[edit]

(For background) In his book (Jefferys, James B (1946). The story of the engineers. Lawrence & Wishart. pp. 192–193.) Jefferys refers to this society as the "Amalgamated Instrument Makers' Society" (AIMS). Further, he recounts that during May 1919, the Amalgamated Society of Engineers (ASE) and seventeen other societies, including AIMS, agreed to postal ballot their members on the subject of amalgamation. At that time, when two or more societies wished to amalgamate, the law (Trade Union (Amalgamation) Act 1917 7 & 8 Geo. 5 c. 24) required that at least 50 per cent of the membership must vote and at least 60 per cent of those voting must agree to the amalgamation. By 1920, the ASE had so agreed (56% and 92%), as had nine other societies, including AIMS. Thus on 1 July 1920, the Amalgamated Engineering Union (AEU) was formed --Senra (Talk) 18:26, 26 October 2011 (UTC)[reply]
