==Industrial Reorganisation Corporation==<br />
In May 1969 government pressure exerted through the [[Industrial Reorganisation Corporation]] required the sale of all the capital of Pollard to [[Ransome & Marles]]. The grounds for the pressure were given to be as follows: <br />
:the ball bearing industry was a large sector of engineering technology and an essential input into the motor and aircraft industries; <br />
:when compared with other developed countries the British industry was fragmented; <br />
:there was a possibly of a merger of Sweden's [[SKF|Skefko]] and Ransome & Marles. SKF dominates the market in European countries. <br />
:There would be advantages of scale. <br />
:Ransome & Marles was the leading British owned company.<ref>SKF to buy into Pollard for £1.6m. ''The Times'', Wednesday, 9 April 1969; pg. 17; Issue 57530</ref><ref>Industrial Reorganisation Corporation. ''The Times'', Thursday, 22 May 1969; pg. 25; Issue 57566</ref><br />
