History
In 1947 two companies were formed: Butterworths Scientific Publications and Research and Development Limited. The first was a wholly-owned subsidiary of Butterworth and Company (Publishers) and was to publish on commission for the second company, the shares in which were held equally by Butterworths and Hambros Bank. Research and Development Limited would receive the profits, if any.
