  5. A scrap book of cuttings and adverts was acquired from the son of a former Tarpen employee many years ago In it is this article from Farm Implement and Machinery News 1967 In the text it mentions the machines were developed by Edward Bals and quotes "The new sprayers, to be marketed in Great Britain by the Tarpen Engineering co Ltd, 7 Coronation Road London" Second paragraph of text, second photo

  8. The UK firm of Tarpen were distributors of the Turbair sprayer with O&R power during the 1960's. The firm also produced a Mini engine setup with O&R power that could be used on some of their tools. I have two in my collection at the moment, one on a Tarpen 33 hedge trimmer, the other on a cultivator...
