  • 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.

  • Archaeology of the Automobile Industry in Victoria 1896-2016
    Gary Vines | Biosis Pty Ltd. Archaeology of the Automobile industry in Victoria 1896-2016 This paper presents some preliminary thoughts on the evolution of automotive factory design in Victoria, based on a typological analysis of some surviving and documented buildings. It stems from heritage assessments undertaken for the Fishermans Bend Urban Renewal Area, and earlier studies of Dandenong and Broadmeadows.i This is the first time that a thorough list of automotive factories has been compiled or that an analysis of building types employed for motor manufacture has been presented. The design of automotive factories reflected changes in the nature of the industry, from essentially a backyard workshop pursuit, through large traditional manufacturing, and then purpose- designed buildings serving specialist functions and accommodating the new manufacturing technologies of moving assembly lines. 1| AHA 2016 Conference Proceedings Gary Vines Archaeology of the Automobile industry in Victoria 1896-2016 Introduction - Origins Automobile manufacture in Victoria is around 120 years old. It arose as an extension of the existing transport industry, primarily the carriage builders producing horse-drawn road vehicles but with pollination from bicycle-makers, steam-engineering and electric traction. The first car factories were therefore the blacksmith shops, farriers, coach builders and engineering works. Expansion was achieved by adding more sheds to existing workshops until substantial capitalisation became necessary to avoid bottlenecks in production and led in turn, to purpose-built factories. These first took on the form of the standard masonry commercial buildings, brick and stone facades with timber frames. The south-facing saw-tooth roof was borrowed from textile mills to light the workspaces, and as space became a premium, multi- story factories were built in inner urban areas.

  • Standard's Vanguard Story
    www.wheels-alive.co.uk Standard’s Vanguard Story Published: 28th October 2020 Author: Dave Moss Online version: https://www.wheels-alive.co.uk/standards-vanguard-story/ This superb 1948 Phase I belongs to Mark Denton, who restored the car in 1992. Standard’s Vanguard Story First World Car to final swansong in under 20 years. Dave Moss describes the history of this boldly-conceived model… Kim adds: Please note, this feature is intended to provide a general outline of the history of www.wheels-alive.co.uk all the Vanguards produced, to help those who may be unfamiliar with Standards bearing the name, rather than a detailed description of each version. (All photographs by Kim Henson, who personally thanks all the Vanguard owners who have enthusiastically helped to tell the story of their models to a wider audience. Some of the photographs were taken at the Standard Motor Club’s excellent International Rallies held in recent years. Others were taken with the kind help of Mark Denton, Vanguard enthusiast extraordinaire). Today the term “world car” is familiar even to those with only a passing interest in the vast industry that designs and makes motor vehicles. Cars are nowadays routinely built around the globe with multiple markets in mind, and despatched to territories worldwide, heading to buyers unaware of how well travelled their new vehicle already is. Though this approach might seem a fairly recent phenomenon, in 2020 its 75 years since what’s widely regarded as the first genuine world car was created. The concept’s originator was the Standard Motor Company’s then newly knighted managing director, Sir John Black, who, like industry leaders across Britain after the second world war, returned to car making under a government edict to prioritise exports.
