    Coventry in the Oxford Dictionary of National Biography The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography is the national record of people who have shaped British history, worldwide, from the Romans to the 21st century. The Oxford DNB (ODNB) currently includes the life stories of over 60,000 men and women who died in or before 2017. Over 1,300 of those lives contain references to Coventry, whether of events, offices, institutions, people, places, or sources preserved there. Of these, over 160 men and women in ODNB were either born, baptized, educated, died, or buried there. Many more, of course, spent periods of their life in Coventry and left their mark on the city’s history and its built environment. This survey brings together over 300 lives in ODNB connected with Coventry, ranging over ten centuries, extracted using the advanced search ‘life event’ and ‘full text’ features on the online site (www.oxforddnb.com). The same search functions can be used to explore the biographical histories of other places in the Coventry region: Kenilworth produces references in 229 articles, including 44 key life events; Leamington, 235 and 95; and Nuneaton, 69 and 17, for example. Most public libraries across the UK subscribe to ODNB, which means that the complete dictionary can be accessed for free via a local library. Libraries also offer 'remote access' which makes it possible to log in at any time at home (or anywhere that has internet access).

  • History of the Triumph Motor Company
    THE HISTORY OF TRIUMPH The name Triumph conjures up visions of the quintessential British sports car. Names like Southern Cross, Spitfire, and the ubiquitous TR-series are the very definition of the classic open- top roadster. Join us in celebrating the Triumph automobile as the ultimate expression of this notably British art form. Triumph, as a company, was actually formed in 1887 by German, Siegfried Bettmann who had moved to Coventry, England, from his native country just four years earlier (at age 23). With the help of capital from the White Sewing Machine Company, he began by selling bicycles and within two years he was marketing his own product. Needing a simple and easily-recognizable name for the company, he chose the Triumph Cycle Company. The company produced its first motorcycle in 1902 and set up an affiliate company in Germany the year following to produce motorcycles there. Motorcycle production ran at a rate of 20 per week, a number that rose to 60 by 1909. By 1913, Bettmann had become so involved in the business and cultural life of Coventry, he became the Mayor of the City for one year; quite odd considering his German ancestry and the approaching World War. Despite the interruption of everyday life caused by war, Bettmann succeeded in convincing Colonel Claude Holbrook of the British War Office to select Triumphs as the “motorcycle of choice” for the British military. By 1918 Triumph was Britain’s top motorcycle manufacturer. After the war, Colonel Holbrook joined the Triumph Company as General Manager, with the goal of getting the company to produce a motor car.

  • Motorcycle Industry: Can Choppers Compete Against the Big Dogs?
    MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY: CAN CHOPPERS COMPETE AGAINST THE BIG DOGS? Gregory S. Elkins and Daniel M. Filer Frostburg State University College of Business Frostburg, MD 21532 MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY: CAN CHOPPERS COMPETE AGAINST THE BIG DOGS? ABSTRACT Growing consumer demands has created a new niche market in the motorcycle industry that is quickly transforming the industry itself. Successful custom builders like Orange County Choppers and Metropolitan Choppers are providing their customers with an avenue to express their individuality and uniqueness, while accommodating every need and want. As a result, custom-built choppers have cornered a continually-growing market. This fact has forced stock producers, who have historically dominated the industry, to re-evaluate their strategy to compete with these smaller companies. By reviewing the strategies of three stock and custom motorcycle companies, evidence suggests that choppers can viably compete with the “big dogs.” 2 MOTORCYCLE INDUSTRY: CAN CHOPPERS COMPETE AGAINST THE BIG DOGS? Introduction Motorcycle riding in the United States today is more popular than it has been in the past. Since the early 1990s, there has been an explosion in the number of motorcyclists. This trend has spawned the rise of custom built machines that defy the imagination and teeter on the edge of a new art form. Shows like American Chopper and pop culture icons like Jesse James of West Coast Choppers have immortalized custom motorcycle builders. Recent box office hits such as Wild Hogs and Ghost Rider have prominently featured custom motorcycles. Out of this resurgence of motorcycle popularity, custom shoppers have begun to take market share from industry leaders.

  • The Earliest Days of Triumph
    The Earliest Days of Triumph Twenty year old, German born Siegfried Bettmann arrived in England in 1883 and started work at the White Sewing Machine Company, London division, under the management of George Sawyer, but was laid off in 1885. The company made bicycles, sewing machines, roller skates, and a multitude of other things. Based on his experience making bicycles, he founded the Triumph Cycle Company at Coventry in 1886 with financial backing from George Sawyer, who became Chairman. Shortly after, he founded S. Bettmann and Company, his import-export company. Fellow German-born Mauritz Johann Schulte was employed in 1887 having gained experience in bicycle manufacture at William Andrews’ cycle factory in Birmingham. The next year Schulte encouraged Bettmann to transform the business into a larger scale manufacturing company. Consequently, Bettmann purchased a site in Coventry, using money lent by his and Schulte's families. Then, in 1889 the company began producing the first Triumph branded bicycles. So successful was the enterprise that the company incorporated in 1890. Another company, Robert Bunting and Sons, also founded in 1887 in Sheffield, manufactured steel profiles; tools like hammers; machinery like forges, rollers, wiredrawers; and parts like rims, guards, and spokes. Clearly one of Bettmann’s bicycle parts supplier, or at least one of them. Bettmann is mentioned as being a Director in 1897 – to guarantee supply and quality for his own company(?), one can only surmise. In 1895, three important events happened. In March he became a naturalised British citizen, and in July he married Millie (Annie) Meyrick in her home town of Shifnal, just northeast of Birmingham, after which he returned with his bride to his home in Coventry.
