Sponsor's Statement More than eight years ago, Thomas Krens approached BMW with his idea for a museum exhibit featuring the motorcycle as a cultural phenomenon. For Mr. Krens, looking at the motorcycle in this way seemed perfectly natural. For BMW. which has been creating motorcycles of character since 1923, it was every bit as natural to view the motorcycle as a phenomenon that influences, and is influenced by, culture— in other words, not merely as two wheels and an engine; not just as a motor vehicle or industrial product; and much more than a halfway point between bicycle and automobile. The world's first motorcycle was assembled before the turn of the century, a year before the first automobile. At the time, the motorcycle was little more than a melding of bicycle and internal-combustion-engined cycle; yet it was a development whose relevance to transpor- tation, society, and prosperity would begin to become apparent some two decades later. BMW's own history began in 1916 with aircraft engines; in 1923. the first BMW motorcycle, the R32, made its debut at the Pans Auto Salon. In the motorcycle, one sees an all-encompassing reflection of the very nature of mobility. Today, At the turn of the century, mobility was a necessity: it meant work, bread, survival. mobility of course remains a necessity; but in the world's advanced societies it is also much more: an expression of freedom, of being where we want to be when we want to be there. low points of history, Over the century of the motorcycle's existence, it has ridden the high and two- wheeler, originally reflecting society and the diverse directions it has taken. The motorized individuality and symbol of a vehicle of necessity, has evolved into a means of expressing a active, optimistic lifestyles. design; so. equally, has its value As the motorcycle's role in society has evolved, so has its a composition of many elements to society. From the artistic viewpoint it is three-dimensional: in which it is conceived and of form, design, and aesthetics, always reflecting the time that the motorcycle is one of the icons produced. Without exaggeration, it is possible to say in both technology and culture. The of our century, representing significant achievements 20th century and shares with BMW Guggenheim has recognized its particular meaning for the value, richly deserves this recognition. the belief that the motorcycle, as an object of cultural raison d'etre to continually challenge the For both the Guggenheim and BMW, it is a art; and to illuminate the synergies ordinary; to merge the boundaries between technology and to observe, act upon, and between engineering and culture. Both institutions feel an obligation the development of new concepts, both lead societal trends, as well as to support cultural values as equal elements in technological and cultural. Both perceive technology and national, but rather in global dimensions; today's world. Both institutions think not in merely the unconventional. both are prepared to pursue the new, the innovative, motorcycles. BMW is proud and On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of BMW interaction will help illuminate the far-reaching honored to sponsor an exhib.t.on that we think and catalogue The Art of the between technology and culture.

  • The Life-Cycle of the Barcelona Automobile-Industry Cluster, 1889-20151
    The Life-Cycle of the Barcelona Automobile-Industry Cluster, 1889-20151 • JORDI CATALAN Universitat de Barcelona The life cycle of a cluster: some hypotheses Authors such as G. M. P. Swann and E. Bergman have defended the hy- pothesis that clusters have a life cycle.2 During their early history, clusters ben- efit from positive feedback such as strong local suppliers and customers, a pool of specialized labor, shared infrastructures and information externali- ties. However, as clusters mature, they face growing competition in input mar- kets such as real estate and labor, congestion in the use of infrastructures, and some sclerosis in innovation. These advantages and disadvantages combine to create the long-term cycle. In the automobile industry, this interpretation can explain the rise and decline of clusters such as Detroit in the United States or the West Midlands in Britain.3 The objective of this paper is to analyze the life cycle of the Barcelona au- tomobile- industry cluster from its origins at the end of the nineteenth centu- ry to today. The Barcelona district remained at the top of the Iberian auto- mobile clusters for a century. In 2000, when Spain had reached sixth position 1. Earlier versions of this paper were presented at the International Conference of Au- tomotive History (Philadelphia 2012), the 16th World Economic History Congress (Stellen- bosch 2012), and the 3rd Economic History Congress of Latin America (Bariloche 2012). I would like to thank the participants in the former meetings for their comments and sugges- tions. This research benefitted from the financial support of the Spanish Ministry of Econo- my (MINECO) and the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) through the projects HAR2012-33298 (Cycles and industrial development in the economic history of Spain) and HAR2015-64769-P (Industrial crisis and productive recovery in the Spanish history).

  • 5. Men of Substance – 1
    5. Men of Substance – 1 When we are young and in the prime of our youth our lives pass so fast that events come and go quickly like today’s daily News. No sooner one event passes, another leaps up to replace it. Only the more dramatic or the humorous for the most part will stick with us. I recently discovered and read an old magazine article written in March 1992 to commemorate the anniversary of the tragic loss of Mike Hailwood. It triggered in me an old memory that I thought I had completely forgotten with the passage of time. Back around 1964/5 I was a member of a UK motorcycle club called The Southend & District MCC. Although I never met them, Bill Ivy and Dave Bickers were also registered members of the same club in compliance with an official UK ACU racing license ruling at that time. The ACU (Auto Cycle Union) was similar to the US. AMA (American Motorcycle Association) in governing all forms of motorcycle sport. We were treated to many a fascinating Club Talk by some quite prominent people of the day such as Charles Mortimer Sr. and Wal Phillips, (a veteran cinder-track speedway rider who was one of the first to develop aftermarket fuel injectors for motorcycles in the UK.), to name but a couple. An Avon Tire representative once came and gave a full presentation on the then newly developing technology of 'Avon Cling' High Hysteresis Tire Compounds. Bert Greeves, founder and owner of Greeves Motorcycles, was also a highly prominent figure along with his long-time friend and business associate, Derry Preston-Cobb, who ran the Greeves subsidiary of Invacar, an independent invalid vehicle factory located next door to the main Greeves factory on One Tree Hill, in Thundersley, Essex.
