Rod ... one last post on the Volkart perfin. Somehow the name rang a bell, and I couldn't believe it - I have exactly this cover in my India perfin album. As I don't collect covers, it's one of my just two Indian ones. If someone wants it, feel free to drop me a line (PM).

Tommtomm,
Wow! well done you. The memory bank is well oiled.
I do not actively collect covers, so thanks but not here,
I would like to keep an image however, for my records, (with due accreditation)

Also of interest, the Bombay (Mumbai) machine cancel, what is at the bottom of the CDS (Circular date stamp) "OR"

Nice reference to the slogan "Support Indian Industries"
I did not have a clear image of that one, that was helpful.

As an aside:
The story goes something like, when Volkart bought looms and began major spinning, overnight, it killed the Swiss cottage industry of cotton spinning.
I see that as a metaphor of today's Artificial intelligence and Robots.
Note: They Perfin punctured the 2a6pice stamps, not the lowly half anna.

Sc#211 1949 2a Multiple, with selvedge.
I am interpreting this (correctly or otherwise) as an indication of "Plate 2"

No, both stamps are perfins.

Thanks Tomm
As Maxwell Smart would say.."I was THAT close!"

This is part reason why Gandhi, wanted to cease imports of cotton, and every household to begin spinning.

Cotton: at the heart of the industrial revolution

Switzerland at the time was one of the leading industrialised nations and the Swiss textile industry had dramatically changed with the introduction of new mechanised machines. As the Swiss cotton industry was suffering mightily from machine-made yarn from Britain, in 1800 the Swiss consul in Bordeaux, Marc Antoine Pellis, approached the government of the Swiss Confederation to import French-made copies of English spinning mules. They were eventually put up in a nationalised monastery in 1801 and their 2014 spindles put to work. A year later, some Wintherthur merchants brought forty-four of Arkwright's spinning machines to a factory in Wülflingen. As a result, by the early 1820s no hand spinners were left in the Swiss countryside.
