Hi everyone,
Landmark Publishing of Ashbourne, Derbyshire
www.landmarkpublishing.co.uk have just published Norman Painting's
*The Real Wolseley: Aderley Park Works 1901-1926*, 128pp, ISBN 1-
84306-052-3. UKP 19.95.
The book is profusely illustrated with contemporary photographs,
patent drawings and building plans. The photographs showing the
manufacturing processes before the days of the production line are
fascinating.
Wolsley's were involved in a wide range of developments, including the
motorised sleighs for Captain Scott's Antarctic expedition, Count
Schilowsky's Gyrocar, and engines for pioneering British submarines.
Wolseley's were the largest British car manufacturers before WW1,
and during the war branched out into the manufacture of aeroplanes
and other armaments.
