We use Optical Character Recognition (OCR) during our scanning and processing workflow to make the content of each page searchable. You can view the automatically generated text below as well as copy and paste individual pieces of text to quote in your own work.
Text recognition is never 100% accurate. Many parts of the scanned page may not be reflected in the OCR text output, including: images, page layout, certain fonts or handwriting.

Next perhaps in importance is the National Provincial Bank, Ltd., with its overdraft facilities for Gaumont-British Picture Corporation, Ltd., converted into £1,340,0(X) debentures, an overdraft of £163,403 to A.T.P., and as the parent institution of the bankers nominee company (Branch Nominees, Ltd.) having perhaps the largest share and mortgage, etc., holdings in the industry (Associated British Picture Corporation, Ltd., Associated British Film Distributors, Ltd., Union, County, Odeon, etc.). Although the control of investments registered in the name of nominee companies is stated to rest entirely with the clients for whom they are made and not with the parent bank, it is nevertheless interesting that the nominee company most prominently involved in the film trade is associated with that among the great commercial banks which appears to have granted by far the largest credits in its own name to the industry.
