  • The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA) Was A

    The Birmingham Small Arms Company Limited (BSA) Was A

    Norton Villiers Triumph Norton Villiers/BSA factory in Small Heath in its heyday _____________________________________________________________________ Norton Villiers Triumph was a British motorcycle manufacturer, formed by the British Government to continue the UK motorcycling industry, but the company eventually failed. Triumph had been owned by the BSA Group since 1951, but by 1972 the merged BSA-Triumph group was in serious financial trouble. British Government policy at the time was to save strategic industries with tax payers' money, and as BSA-Triumph had won the Queen's Awards for Exports a few years earlier, the industry was deemed 'strategic' enough for financial support. The Conservative Government under Ted Heath concluded to bail out the company, provided that to compete with the Japanese it merged with financially troubled Norton Villiers (the remains of Associated Motor Cycles, which had gone bust in 1966), a subsidiary of British engineering conglomerate Manganese Bronze. The merged company was created in 1973, with Manganese Bronze exchanging the motorcycle parts of Norton Villiers in exchange for the non-motorcycling bits of the BSA Group—mainly Carbodies, the builder of the Austin FX4 London taxi: the classic "black cab." As BSA was both a failed company and a solely British-known brand (the company's products had always been most successfully marketed in North America under the Triumph brand), the new conglomerate was called Norton Villiers Triumph—being effectively the consolidation of the entire once-dominant British motorcycle industry. NVT inherited four motorcycle factories—Small Heath (ex-BSA); Andover and Wolverhampton (Norton); and Meriden (Triumph). Meriden was the most modern of the four.

    AN EXAMINATION OF THE POST- SECOND WORLD WAR RELATIVE DECLINE OF UK MANUFACTURING 1945-1975, VIEWED THROUGH THE LENS OF THE BIRMINGHAM SMALL ARMS COMPANY LTD by JOE HEATON Volume 1: Text A thesis submitted to The University of Birmingham for the Degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY Centre for Lifelong Learning The University of Birmingham July 2007 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties.

ABSTRACT This is a study of the decline and collapse, in 1973, of the Birmingham Small Arms Company Ltd, primarily a motorcycle manufacturing company and pre-WW2 world market-leader. The study also integrates and extends several earlier investigations into the collapse that concentrated on events in the Motorcycle Division, rather than on the BSA Group, its directors and its overall strategy. The collapse of BSA was due to failures of strategy, direction and management by directors, who were not up to running one of Britain’s major industrial companies after it was exposed to global competition. While the charge, by Boston Consulting and others, that the directors sacrificed growth for short term profits was not proven, their failure to recognise the importance of motorcycle market share and their policy of segment retreat in response to Japanese competition, played a large part in the decline of the company.

    San Diego Antique Motorcycle Club The Herald Volume 27, Issue 1I April 2010 The Long Way Around by Virgil Foreman You know how the night before a big trip you don‘t sleep well because you‘re thinking about did I pack everything? Did I tighten that valve stem cap after I checked the air pressure in my tires? No, not this time. I was dead asleep as soon as my head hit the pillow. However, I was awake before the 4:30 a.m. alarm disturbed the morning silence. This trip had been in various stages of planning for 39 years. My best friend and I had talked about riding our mo- torcycles back to Curlew, WA where we met in 1970. We were riding buddies for 25 years before he passed away about 10 years ago. So this trip was for him and a way for me to say good-bye. My plan was to banzai up 5 to Sacramento; overnight there with the family, and then a 580 mile trip to Portland and spend a couple of days with my daughter. Then on to Curlew, WA, which is about 180 miles north of Spokane and only 5 miles from the Canadian border, then a leisurely trip southward towards home on roads forgotten. I had my hand on the off button within seconds after the alarm sounded. I dressed in my riding gear as the coffee cooked. The bike was packed the night before and pointed towards the garage door waiting to be brought to life Continued on page 3 SDAMC Officers Monthly Meetings President: Are held at: Virgil Foreman 858-279-7117 [email protected] Giovanni’s Restaurant Vice President: 9353 Clairemont Mesa Blvd., San Diego Randy Gannon 858-270-5201 (the corner of Clairemont Mesa Blvd and Ruffin Rd.)

    12-Norton Manx

    Norton Manx "# 22 Ray Petty 1960" Rolf Stratemeyer 06/2007 Minichamps, 1:12, Norton Manx "# 22 Ray Petty 1960" Das ursprüngliche Unternehmen wurde von James Lansdowne („Pa“) Norton im Jahr 1898 in Wolverhampton gegründet. Das Unternehmen war lange Zeit ansässig in der Bracebridge Street in Bir- mingham. Seit 1913 wurden Motorräder in verschiedenen Serien gebaut und eine Vielzahl von Rennsie- gen errungen. Norton war hierdurch einer der großen Namen in der britischen Motorradindustrie, vor allem bekannt da- für, für Jahrzehnte das europäische und dann weltweite Motorrad-Renngeschehen dominiert zu haben. Das Rennen auf der Isle of Man in der irischen See, die „Senior TT“ (Tourist Trophy), ein Rennen in der Klasse bis 500 cm³, war das wichtigste Rennen in der Motorrad-Weltmeisterschaft bis in die 1960er Jahre. Dieses Rennen gewannen Fahrer auf Norton zehnmal in den Jahren zwischen den Weltkriegen und an- schließend in jedem Jahr von 1947 bis 1954. Diese Serie von Rennsiegen ist unerreicht in der Welt; keine andere Motorradmarke war auch nur annähernd so erfolgreich in internationalen Rennwettbewerben. Im zweiten Weltkrieg war das 500-cm³-Einzylinder-Modell 16 H, ein einfaches Seitenventiler-Motorrad (SV) die Standard-Ausrüstung der britischen Armee. Von diesem Motorrad-Typ, der in hohen sechsstelli- gen Stückzahlen produziert wurde, sind auch 60 Jahre nach Einstellung der Fertigung sämtliche Teile so- wohl neu als sogenannter „New Old Stock“, also eingelagerte Teile aus der Produktion der 40er Jahre, als ebenso auch in moderner Nachfertigung zu erhalten. 1953 wurde Norton mit anderen britischen Motorrad-Herstellern (A.J.S., Matchless, James, Francis- Barnett) im AMC (Associated Motor Cycles)-Konzern zusammengeführt.
