Hello, Thank you Jeff. Yes I think you are on the right lines. Pattern Makers in Birmingham were usually involved in the iron industry or later with engines. There was an industry of cars and aeroplanes. His last job in Birmingham before the war an "electrical pattern maker" with GEC (General Electrical company) I don't know, but guess that he would be making patterns for some sort of motorised engines. My great grandfather (the generation before John) made patterns for steam engines so it does all fit.
