Researching old WW Machinery.

I've recently been looking at about 30 gold and silversmith's makers punches and have found Trove a fantastic resource of old newspaper advertisements for Melbourne, suburban, country Vic and Tassie jewellers working around the 1900s to pre WW2

Yesterday I went looking for S Robertson Pty Ltd, the name on a plate on my bandsaw.
There might be an easier way to navagate it, but I'll describe what I do, and any info on a better way is more than welcome.

I typed into Google
s robertson pty ltd niagara lane "trove"
and the first result was

07 May 1932 - Classified Advertising

Argus Saturday 7 May 1932
on that page (Firefox) I go to the top click on, Edit - Find - then type robertson into the find box.
Then on the left of the page I find the highlighted text, left click on the word robertson, and an invitation to fix the text appears, and the text on the news page centers on the panel.
I zoom in to read it, print screen to copy it.





These searchers are a real rabbit warren....so put aside some time.

It seems there was also brothel in Niagara Lane ...

May Brown, & young, well set up woman, was charged at the City Court on Monday with importuning. She pleaded not guilty, and was represented by Mr. N. H. Sonenberg.
Interesting reading ....

Any other vintage WW machinery information search tips you might want to share???

Cheers,
Peter
