When Hornets first came to Brisbane Continuing in 1934 ... Sneddons Motors Limited move to new premises in Wickham Street, Valley, “next Baths” and merge their operations with British Australian Motors, an old Brisbane firm: BRITISH AUSTRALIAN MOTORS The firm of British Australian Motors has commenced business in Wickham Street, next to the Valley Baths, in the premises recently occupied by Sneddons Motors Ltd. The proprietors of the new British Australian Mo- tors are former members of the staff of the old British Australian Motors Pty. Ltd. which company merged its interest with Sneddons Motors Ltd. some nine months ago and their intention is to supply spare parts and ensure service to owners of Armstrong-Siddeley, Wol- seley, Rugby and Durant cars and Albion trucks. The workshop is in the capable hands of Messrs. W. White and C. Bond, lately foreman and mechanic respectively of B.A.M. Pty. Ltd. and Sneddons, and they, with the others employes, have spent years of specialised repair and service work on British cars in particular. Mr. C. Merkely is in charge of the spare parts department, and his knowledge of this side of the business has been gained as a former employee of the companies men- tioned. Owners of the cars enumerated above will thus realize that their needs will be thoroughly catered for. Both advertisements, the Courier-Mail Tuesday 11 September 1934. The premises to which Sneddons Motors Limited moved in July 1934 at 432 Wickham Street, between the Valley Baths, the brick building on the left and Ward Motors Used Cars on the corner of Church Street. When Sneddons and British Australian Motors merged later in 1934, this became the showroom of British Australian Motors Ltd. Interestingly, Peter Baker’s ‘33 Hornet Special was purchased second-hand from Ward Motors in 1935 by Mr J N Taylor of Kangaroo Point, Brisbane.

Henry Hancock Issue 57 Page 5 John Higham’s further progress and request for front wings to copy My Hornet is now having its metal panel work and painting done and we have been able to make use of a lot of what I had in the way of panels, especially as we made the timber frame to match the panels as best we could. We have been doing some research into our car for our own interest and for the book being developed by Michael Santin and others. We discovered previous owners of our car in Broken Hill during the 1940s & 1950s. One owner is still alive and living in Victoria and after a few discussions by phone he sent me some photos of the car from that time. We were able to positively identify our car from his pictures. These confirm our car as the first 1934 Hornet special that came in a batch to Australia in that year. We are missing the front wings/guards and their supporting stays (brackets). I would be very grateful if anyone who has spare stays for front wings and/or old wings could make them available (lend) or sell them to us to use to re-produce (or use) these items. These are the only items together with a spare wheel mounting that we need to complete this work. I can be contacted on 02 62381559 or [email protected]. Many thanks & cheers John Higham Lyle Cooper’s body preparation and undercoating will be complete next week Progress at 31 May 2014 Oh oh, subs are overdue Subscriptions to both the Australian and UK clubs were due on April 1.

Club nights have been very enjoyable all winter with a good num- ber coming along to enjoy each other’s company, some to stay on for the quiz but lighter evenings are on their way and the number of classics in the car park are increasing nicely already. Rodger Tre- hearn has again provided a list of events further on, he has entry forms at all club nights and the information is also on the club web- site, see Chair’s chat for more on that. Planning for the show at the College for the Deaf is well under way and we have fliers for you to give out to get another brilliant attendance. This raises a lot of money for charity and also helps our club fi- nances but, primarily, it is a great day out and is where we do the main club trophy judging. For those who won trophies last year, could you get them back to the club by the end of May please for engraving and getting ready for the show. If anyone needs them collecting, please let me know and I can organise that.

One hundred years ago to the day, the first ‘Bullnose’ Morris Oxford was built by William Morris just a few hundred metres from where the modern MINI plant stands. With a weekly production of just 20 vehicles in 1913, the business grew rapidly and over the century 11.65 million cars were produced, bearing 13 different British brands and one Japanese. Almost 500, 000 people have worked at the plant in the past 100 years and in the early 1960s numbers peaked at 28,000. Today, Plant Oxford employs 3,700 associates who manufacture up to 900 MINIs every day. Congratulating the plant on its historic milestone, Prime Minister David Cameron said: "The Government is working closely with the automotive industry so that it continues to compete and thrive in the global race and the success of MINI around the world stands as a fine example of British BMW Group Company Postal Address manufacturing at its best.

  • Proprietors and Managers: Structure and Technique in Large British Enterprise 1890 to 1939
    PROPRIETORS AND MANAGERS: STRUCTURE AND TECHNIQUE IN LARGE BRITISH ENTERPRISE 1890 TO 1939. JOHN MICHAEL QUAIL Submitted in accordance with the requirements for the degree of PhD, The University of Leeds School of Business and Economic Studies January 1996 The candidate confirms that the work submitted is his own and that appropriate credit has been given where reference has been made to the work of others Abstract. The model of the managerial modern business enterprise set out by A D Chandler defines a specific organisational structure and specific techniques of corporate control which are presented as the most effective form of governance for large enterprise. It is generally accepted, however, that this form of governance remained largely unadopted by large UK enterprise before World War Two. This thesis offers an explanation based on the particular role and function of directors in UK firms. Part One of the thesis examines the structure and control technique of large UK enterprise before World War One and the theory of the firm that underpinned them. It is shown that the favoured form of joint stock company structure, here called `proprietorial', was the consequence of the perceived role of company directors as shareholders' representatives rather than managers of the business. Much flowed from this. The legitimation of directors powers through property rights impelled them to retain centralised control despite their customary part-time status. This restricted the growth of top management, fragmented management and business professions into narrow departmental structures and restricted the development of control techniques. Under these circumstances the development of firms of the Chandler type was unlikely.
