[Leica] OT: His Master's Voice

[pdzwig at summaventures.com (Peter Dzwig)]

So I was  right about K-u-T...I had this memory that associated his burial place
with an area which I recall as a bank building and a car park.

Thanks...as we were all saying there is always someone in LUG who knows the answer

Peter

PS But Did RCA distribute HMV in the US or did they use the picture, but not the
trademark, under licence.

was called "Nipper" and who survived till quite a ripe old age. I have a feeling
Nipper was buried somewhere in Kingston-upon-Thames, perhaps someone from the
area can conform or deny that.
