Kwok Hing Engineering Works, further information
Nathan Laurent, who lives in Queensland, Australia, has an interest in industrial history.
HF: A quick search online came up with this company based in around 1963 in Kwun Tong. I don’t think this company is connected to the one in Sham Shui Po.

Nathan has researched the company further and found this newspaper article.
He adds: I’m not sure how the dollar amount compares to today’s money, but the fine seems quite high for that time.
I suppose that if the fine put the owner out of business, it would explain why there is so little information out there.
