Henry, Charles

Henry, Charles , Electrical Engineer. Gunsmith and Locksmith, 127 Princes Street, Dunedin. This business was established in page 324 1882 by the late Mr. Charles Henry, a well known electrical engineer, who died in Dunedin in 1902, and was succeeded by his son, the present proprietor. The workshop in Princes Street is supplied with the latest and most improved machinery, including a new Henry Milne cutting lathe. A specialty is made of the manufacture of dynamos of from two to five horse-power, for motor cars. Installations of electric light, and fire alarms and thief detectors are undertaken. The late Mr. Henry, who was a practical electrician, had been employed for a number of years in the electrical works of Messrs Siemens Brothers, and followed the profession of electrical engineer for several years in England before coming to Dunedin in 1879. Mr. Henry was a sergeant-major in the Imperial Army, and, after his arrival in the colony, joined the Dunedin Volunteer Engineers Corps, and was awarded the long service medal.
