A few notes from Doug Harris, in New Zealand :
'Whitanco' is an abbreviation of the company name Whiteley Tansey & Company Ltd, an English company first registered in 1912 and operating from Beech Street, Liverpool, which means that they must have been operating in proximity to the Hornby/Meccano factory. One of the directors, a Mr Whitely, is believed to have worked for Meccano Ltd as a toolmaker. Whitanco went into receivership in 1921, and ceased trading in 1924.
