The Motor Car Industry in Coventry Since the 1890's, Paperback / softback Book

The Motor Car Industry in Coventry Since the 1890's Paperback / softback

Part of the Routledge Library Editions: The Automobile Industry series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book, originally published in 1985, examines the development of the car industry in Coventry within both its local context and the wider economic environment.

It is a study of expansion and adjustment which reflects the broader pattern of Britain's industrial history.

The book analyses the emergence and early dominance of Coventry's motor manufacturers, the appearance of the volume producers in the 1920s and the instability of the post-war era.

The relationship between cars and other sectors of the local economy, particularly cycles, machine tools and aircraft, is discussed, while the significance of the two world wars receive special attention.

Extensive use is made of original sources material, much of which, prior to publication, had received little or no attention from business historians.
