MacTaggart Scott & Co Ltd was founded by Hugh MacTaggart and Robert Grigor Scott in 1898. World War One WWI saw the Company making steering telemotors. Hugh MacTaggarts attendance at the Admiralty to address vent valve operation, led to long term involvement with submarines. The Admiralty link soon saw development of seaplane catapults and arresting gear confirming the companys commitment to the British Navy, especially during WWII to meet the demand for the Fleets carrier building programme. Submarine equipment production now included vent valves, bow caps, mast hoisting jiggers and torpedo loading presses. The end of WWII allowed the company to develop pumps and motors. The successful development and running of the RHP pump led to todays stealth enhancing motors and pumps in submarines.
