This attempt to list the principal manufacturing and distributing businesses involved in British industry prior to the First World War centres (currently!) on the many facets of the ‘Golden Age of Engineering’.

The use of this phrase is highly subjective, of course, as each student of the development of technology will take a particular viewpoint. Many would champion the era of the Industrial Revolution—misleading term though it is—and the advent of the steam engine, the first reliable source of motive power to work independently of wind or water. Others, myself included, see the primary catalyst for growth as an improvement in the health of the nation in general (and England in particular) in the middle of the eighteenth century; this not only increased prosperity, but also renewed confidence in the future. It created an environment in which technological progress could begin, and, indeed, in which fortunes could be made—and lost—with ease.

The eighteenth century gave engineering its first great heroes, though the reputations of some of them have been established largely with hindsight. Thomas Newcomen was soon lost in the shadow of James Watt, though Watt himself may not have found success without the ability of Mathew Boulton to transform his engine into a practicable proposition for large-scale production. Richard Trevithick, that great maverick, is eclipsed by the Stephensons; William Murdock and Matthew Murray are long-forgotten, yet each made immense contributions to indistrial progress.

There can be no doubt that, by the middle of the nineteenth century (and the Great Exhibition of 1851), the ready availability of power had greatly increased confidence in technology. However, huge tracts of the world remained untouched by such progress. Even Germany, still a disparate collection of states and principalities, was backward; and the huge distances involved in travel across the U.S.A., where the transcontinental railroad was not completed until 1865, had restricted the growth of manufacturing industry in all but the easternmost states.

A major turning-point in the development of industry (and, by extension, of world trade) was the growth of precision engineering, particularly in the

by the zeal with which James Watt tried to keep the existence of his engine indicator from rival engineers, but in others the brake of progress was simply that the machines had been developed only to answer problems encountered in one particular workshop.

This was soon to change. The Great Exhibition included Sharps rifles and Colt revolvers, which were made in the U.S.A. largely by machine, alongside the more typical products of the British gunmaking industry—often little more than craft-based, and greatly reliant on handwork. The exhibits of Robbins & Lawrence of Windsor, Vermont, were particularly interesting to the British government, which worried about the perceived inability of British gunmakers to supply weapons in the quantities being demanded by the Board of Ordnance: a fear that was wholly justified when war in the Crimea commenced at the end of 1853. A Royal Commission, including Nasmyth and Whitworth, was sent to the U.S.A. to investigate the large-scale manufacture of military weapons with fully interchangeable parts. A visit to Springfield Armory, where ‘by the use of machine tools specially designed to execute with the most unerring precision all the details of muskets and rifles, they

way in which replication was facilitated. During the nineteenth century, production techniques moved from reliance on man-power to an acceptance—by no means universal—that machines could undertake repetitive jobs faster, more efficiently and more accurately than any man.

Yet this transition, which was still incomplete in some countries by 1945, depended on many interrelated influences. Not least were the advent of inexpensive self-contained power generators and belated recognition that extra-accurate measurement was essential to large-scale production. Accuracy of measurement, where engineering was concerned, was a nineteenth-century innovation. Henry Maudslay (1771–1831) had built a micrometer-like measuring tool capable of measuring to 1/10,000th of an inch and, by 1856, Joseph Whitworth could demonstrate his ‘Millionth Measuring Machine’. Whitworth also implacably championed the standardisation of screw threads; and the commercial availability of vernier-gauge tools spread knowledge rapidly.

Much of the progress is ascribed to the arms industry—in particular, to the American gunmaker Eli Whitney—but other people had already taken considerable strides towards the development of efficient machine-tools, even though commercial success had been limited. An efficient screw-cutting lathe had been made in the eighteenth century only to be met with indifference, and even the desirability of standardised screw threads was deprecated for many years. By the last quarter of the nineteenth century, however, turret lathes and effectual universal milling tools were just two of the many labour-saving devices that could be obtained.

In Britain, the efforts of Henry Maudslay and his many contemporaries—Joseph Clement, James Fox, James Nasmyth, Richards Roberts and Joseph Whitworth, for example—helped to advance the design of mechanically-driven tools.[1] Maudslay associated with Samuel Bentham and Marc Brunel in the design of an automated block-making system for the Royal Navy, which successfully commenced work in Portsmouth Dockyard in 1803.

The younger men, Nasmyth and Whitworth, attained the greatest commercial success: the former with his steam-powered hammer, and the latter with precision measurement and standardised screw-threads. But their stories were comparatively unusual prior to 1850, as Britons often kept their designs to themselves. In some cases this was a deliberate ploy, typified 1. Joseph Clement (1779–1844), best known for his facing late of 1827, had worked for Maudslay, Sons & Field; James Nasmyth (1808–90) had been Maudslay’s personal assistant, responsible for the development of a nut-milling ma-chine in 1829 and a shaping machine in 1836; Richard Roberts (1789–1864), credited with the introduction of back-gearing on a lathe, had also worked for Maudslay, Sons, & Field; Joseph Whitworth (1803–87) had also worked for Maudslay before striking out on his own. Only James Fox (1789–1859) had had no direct connection.

and fittings took much longer than had been allowed, and completion of the contract was delayed many times. However, the muskets were all ultimately delivered and the idea of series production had taken hold.

Whitney had been helped by many men, including John Hall and Simeon North, and others soon followed his lead. Among those who had been trained in Whitney’s New Haven Armoury were Horace Smith (of Smith & Wesson) and Ira Gray, who, together with his brother Ziba, formed Gray, Silver & Company in North Chelmsford, Massachusetts, in the early 1830s. The Gray brothers had soon introduced the first milling-machine design to support the outer end of the spindle. Improved first by employee Frederick Howe (1822–91) and then by Howe and Elisha Root, later manufacturing superintendent of Colt’s Patent Fire Arms Mfg Co., the ‘Index Milling Machine’ was to be made in quantity by Robbins & Lawrence. When the Robbins & Lawrence business failed in 1856, the machine was re-introduced as the ‘Lincoln Miller’ by the George S. Lincoln Company of Hartford, Connecticut. A slightly modified version subsequently laid the foundations for the success of Pratt & Whitney.

In much the same era, just as the American Civil War began in 1861, Joseph Brown of J.R. Brown & Sharpe, working in Providence, Rhode Island, invented the first universal milling machine. He then developed a formed milling cutter protected by U.S. Patent 45294, granted on 29th November 1864, which finally solved the problem of cutting gears consistently. Joseph Whitworth had patented a gear-cutting machine in England as early as 1835, but the durability of the cutters, and the need to perpetually replace or re-cut them, had been a block to progress. A fully-automatic gear-cutting machine introduced in 1860 by Gage, Warner & Whitney of New Hampshire had also failed to prosper for this reason.

An efficient screw-cutting lathe had been made in England by Jesse Ramsden as early as 1788, but, failing to find favour, it had had no commercial success. In 1845, however, Stephen Fitch of Middlefield, Connecticut, faced with the problem of machining screws for a large U.S. Army order for cap-lock pistols, designed the first turret lathe. The turret or tool holder, mounted on a horizontal spindle, could be turned in such a way that several operations on the work-piece could be undertaken sequentially. An improved version, credited to Frederick Howe and Henry Stone, which appeared in 1858 with a vertically-mounted turret, was to be the forerunner of many similar machines.

The automatic lathe was developed in the early 1870s, near-simultaneously by the Swiss engineer Jacob Schweizer and the American Christopher Spencer; Schweizer’s machine had a sliding head-stock, whereas

were enabled to dispense with mere manual dexterity, and produce Arms to any amount’, convinced the commissioners that similar facilities should be erected in Britain. The Royal Small Arms Factory, Enfield Lock, completed in 1855, was equipped with a large number of U.S.-made machine-tools.

British commentators, who had written scathingly about machine-made guns in general (and Colt in particular), were scandalised. Yet, in truth, the imported machine tools were not only more efficient than anything available in Britain at the time, but were also being sold commercially. One immediate effect of this epiphany was the creation in 1861 of the first large-scale mechanised gunmaking business (the Birmingham Small Arms Company), but only a handful of comparable facilities were operating in Britain in 1914.

The rise of the North American machine-tool industry is widely credited to Eli Whitney, who accepted a commission to make large numbers of muskets in 1799. The need to make a huge variety of tools, gauges, fixtures

tools had grown to enormous size, typified by a lathe made by the Niles Tool Works of Hamilton. Ohio, in 1893—capable of turning work-pieces 45 feet long, with diameters up to 91in.

The advent of efficient machine tools was beneficially accompanied by advances in the generation of power, and among the most important improvements in steam-engine technology was the re-introduction of compounding. An old idea, first tried in the 1780s, it was successfully resurrected once sufficient knowledge of thermodynamics had been gained to allow the underlying principles to be understood. Compounding not only improved performance, but also reduced running costs considerably. One of its most important contributions to industrial development was the introduction of an improved form of marine engine.

This freed the dependence of the steamship on supplies of coal which were so great that insufficient ‘paying cargo’ could be carried. Coaling stations were still very necessary—voyages of thousands of miles would often have been impossible without them—but steamships could at last

By the end of the nineteenth century, improvements had been extended to planers, owing to the introduction in 1862 of ‘spiral drive’ by William Sellers & Company of Philadelphia, and to precision grinders. Machine-

This engraving shows the starboard engine, which, during the eight-hour trials of Rainbow off Plymouth on 13th May 1892 indicated an average of 3914hp with minimal air-pressure in the stokehold. Engines of this size, before being hidden behind engine-room pipework, had an impressive, almost sculptural presence.

Powerful and her Clydebank-built sister Terrible were the first of their type to use Belleville water-tube boilers. Each engine had four cylinders: one high-pressure, one intermediate, and two low-pressure units, all working with a common stroke. Powerful’s two engines indicated 18433hp during a thirty-hour trial in the English Channel on 13th/14th October 1896.

indicated about 18,400 horsepower. The main propulsion and 61 auxiliary engines together weighed 867.8 tons, or 1789 tons including the boilers.[2]

Though the fivefold reduction in the use of fuel was counterbalanced by stupendous increases in power and the physical size of the engines, range and speed increased commensurately. Phoenix had attained a maximum of only a little over eight knots, whereas some of the torpedo-boat destroyers introduced prior to 1914 exceeded 35 knots during their full-power trials.

Similar trends could be discerned in merchant shipping, where multi-stage expansion engines allowed bunkerage to be reduced; this in turn allowed more cargo space, or large numbers of passengers to be carried. The first successful triple-expansion engined ship, Aberdeen, on full-power trial in February 1882, indicated 2631hp at 13.74 knots. Coal consumption was calculated to be only 1.85lb/ihp/hr. Aberdeen duly left for Australia on 1st April 1882 and reached Melbourne 42 days later with only a short stop at Cape Town to replenish bunkers. The overall coal consumption was reckoned to be 1.7lb/ihp/hr—saving five hundred tons compared with a two-stage compound engine of similar power undertaking the same journey.

The introduction of the multiple-expansion engine in the 1880s was the single greatest influence on world trade. It assisted the mass-movement of people from Europe to the New World and the Antipodes, not only encouraging the diversification of industry, but also creating the markets that industry would strive to satisfy. The ease with which passenger steamships could transport emigrants is well documented. In 1901 alone, the ships of Norddeutscher Lloyd (‘NDL’) transported 23,982 ‘cabin’ and 128,580 ‘steerage’ passengers from Bremen and the Italian ports to North America; cumulative totals for the NDL Atlantic services in 1899–1901 amounted to 69,531 people in ‘cabin’ and 268,817 in ‘steerage’. The ten largest shipping companies engaged in the North Atlantic trade in 1901 shipped 92,943 ‘cabin’ and 360,219 ‘steerage’ passengers—little wonder, therefore, that the population of North America and many British colonies expanded rapidly. Some people simply sought a better life with more opportunities of success; some wanted to escape ethnic, political or religious intolerance. Not a few had fled from famine or the threat of bad harvests.

One obvious drawback to mass emigration, particularly from the British viewpoint, was the rapid establishment of competition. Many of the advances

reach the extremities of the world, and return without battling against the unpredictable timescale imposed by winds and tides.

Statistics gathered from the performance of British naval vessels make the point clearly. The oldest steamships, such as Phoenix, tested in 1848–9, consumed coal at the hourly rate of 6–8lb per indicated horsepower; the ironclad Warrior, driven by a Penn trunk engine, used coal at a rate of 3.75–5lb/ihp/hr when tested in October 1861. Inflexible returned 2.38–2.74lb/ihp/hr on trial in November 1878, showing the value of a two-stage compound engine; the triple-expansion or three-stage compound engines of Sans Pareil (tried in September 1888) gave 1.88–2.6lb/ihp/hr; and triple-expansion engines of the pre-dreadnought battleship New Zealand, when trials were run in March 1905, gave 2.1lb/ihp/hr.

Boiler pressures had advanced from 6lb/sq.in—barely above atmospheric level—for Phoenix to 210lb/sq.in for New Zealand. The battleship’s two engines, made by Humphry’s, Tennant & Company, had four cylinders: high, intermediate, and two low-pressure cylinders fitted in an attempt (largely successful) to reduce overall dimensions. On trial, with natural draught, they

2. Virtually every ship had auxiliary engines ranging from water-feed pumps and the simple ‘donkey’ employed to keep vital services functioning when docked, to the large numbers of engines needed to keep a warship functioning. These could include steam-powered ash ejectors, water-distilling equipment, hoists and ‘barring engines’ used to turn main machinery to the starting positiion. Few of these generated much power, but sixty of them were enough to contribute many tons to the weight of shipboard machinery.

in engineering that occurred in the U.S.A. were due to skilled immigrants from central Europe, and the emergence of industries in India and Australia, in particular, began to threaten British trade. By the beginning of the twentieth century, nearly two hundred cotton mills were operating in British India, mostly in and around Bombay; daily employment was estimated at 156,000 men, women and children. Though the first Indian mill had been opened only in 1851, capacity had more than tripled in the 1880–1900 period.

Yet the effects on the exports of the Lancashire cotton industry, faced with a home-grown competitor operating with far lower costs, were mirrored in India: ‘the export of raw cotton to Japan is now a very important item,’ noted the same report, ‘with the consequence that the products of the Japanese mills are rapidly cutting out those of the Indian mills in the Far Eastern markets…’

By this time, Canadian railways had grown to a ‘main line’ track-length of more than eighteen thousand miles, owned by 163 separate operators, and had carried almost 37 million tons of freight in the year to 30th June 1901. Canada had never been a strong market for British locomotives, rolling stock or rails—the proximity of the U.S.A. was largely responsible—but the situation

elsewhere soon became critical. It was quicker to ship to Australia and New Zealand from San Francisco than from Britain, even though the Suez Canal shortened the route that had once passed around the Cape of Good Hope. In addition, the emergence as a technological power of Germany, and to a lesser extent France and Belgium, began to erode markets in the Middle East and parts of Africa.

Against the backcloth of the Boer War, which did much to foster anti-British feeling in Europe, English-language periodicals and newspapers began a campaign to discredit ‘foreign goods’. The government even investigated the affairs of the railways in Egypt, then nominally a British protectorate, and published a White Paper (Cd. 1010) entitled Correspondence Respecting the Comparative Merits of British, Belgian, and American Locomotives in Egypt. The conclusion, predictably, was that British was best; however, protracted delivery of goods was severely criticised on the grounds that it ‘left the door open’ for foreign competitors.

A letter published in Engineering in 1901, from an engineer describing his experience on the ‘Koyloff, Voroneja, Rostoff railway…worked chiefly with Belgian-made engines’, expressed the popular view: “I may say at once that these proved a failure, the cylinders and smokeboxes got slack, the valve motion [was] unsatisfactory, and the material of a poor quality, particularly the boiler plates… About this time our goods traffic was completely blocked, and had it not been for two or three old Neilson engines [made in Glasgow] which worked the traffic from the coal mines to the port, I do not know what the consequences would have been… We also had about twenty American engines, which did good work, but gave us a lot of trouble with their boilers, fireboxes, and water-tube fire-bars, designed for burning anthracite. The workmanship of these engines was rough in the extreme, the wearing parts of the link motion much too light, and too much cast iron was used in their construction, instead of cast steel. Some Sigl (Vienna) engines we had did first-rate work, and their casehardening I have never seen excelled and seldom equalled.

“My next experience was on the Moscow Kursk Railway, where most of the engines were built by Borsig (Berlin); but for heavy work they could not be compared with the Beyer and Peacock engines, employed for the same service. I ought to say here, however, for the Borsig engines, that both the material and the workmanship were good, but that the design was too scientifically accurate; not a sufficient margin being allowed for wear and tear… I next moved to the Nicolai railway, where I had a still better opportunity of comparing British, German, American, and French-built

Above: the Webb-type compound locomotives, built in surprisingly large numbers by the London & North Western Railway prior to 1902, never achieved their goals. Badly proportioned cylinders and quirky design features (e.g., two driven axles without coupling rods) masked improvements in fuel consumption, and they were either rapidly scrapped or converted to simple expansion by Webb’s successor.

engines, and I say again…that the British-built engines more than held their own, though the German engines—“Kessler’s”—were much the best I have seen from that country, and came nearest to our own…”

It would be fair to say that the British locomotives of the 1870s were often superior to their foreign rivals, but also that the superiority was eroding fast by 1900 and had disappeared by 1914. British locomotives, generally well built, were too often handicapped by aesthetic considerations: they looked good, with complex multi-colour liveries, and were almost always acceptably reliable. But few British railways worried unduly about maintenance prior to 1914, as labour was plentiful and sufficient motive power existed to answer most traffic demands.

These conditions were not always paramount elsewhere, where ease of maintenance and sometimes also technical sophistication (especially in France) prevailed. American locomotives often looked ungainly to British eyes, and were rarely designed to have service lives of comparable longevity, but they were simple and easy to maintain. In addition, as long as the purchaser accepted the manufacturer’s standards, locomotives built in the U.S.A. were usually supplied quickly and inexpensively.

In 1901, the ten principal British railway-locomotive builders employed nearly fourteen thousand men, and tens of thousands were involved in the ancillary industries or trades. Three of the four largest companies worked in Glasgow: Neilson, Reid & Co., Dübs & Co., and Sharp, Stewart & Co. But even these three, when amalgamated in 1903 to form the North British Locomotive Co. Ltd, were unable to compete with the output of North American giants such as Baldwin or the American Locomotive Company (‘Alco’).

The three components of NBL had made about 15,437 locomotives prior to the 1903 amalgamation; by the time the last order had been completed in 1958, NBL had made an additional 11,318. Baldwin had made eighteen thousand locomotives by 1900; the 30,000th dated from February 1907, and the 50,000th from September 1918.[3]

The introduction of hot-air engines, internal-combustion engines and electric motors, which all became commercial realities in the years between the Great Exhibition and the First World War, released some of the shackles imposed by the steam engine. Though by far the largest and most powerful power-generator available in 1914, steam engines were hamstrung by the

need of a suitable boiler, perpetual maintenance, mandatory inspection and insurance. In addition, lavish engine-houses or boiler rooms were needed to house engines which had become colossal. The machinery of HMS Dreadnought weighed nearly 1900 tons; engines installed in 1905–6 by John Musgrave & Sons Ltd of Bolton in the London County Council power station in Greenwich were 47ft 6in high, measured from the bottom of the flywheel pit, and about 48 feet long; and each of the four-crank six-cylinder quadruple-expansion engines fitted to the Hamburg-Amerika-Linie steamship Deutschland (completed in 1900) indicated 36,940hp.

There is little argument that the ease with which the internal-combustion engine could be installed and the rapidity with which it could be started were major factors in its success, even though power was initially very modest. Another major attraction, even though accidents occurred with flammable fuel, was the comparative lack of regulation.

3. According to James W. Lowe, British Steam Locomotive Builders (1975); NBL began to number its output from 15723 onward, the discrepancy arising from the provision of stationary boilers, etc, prior to 1903. The figures for Baldwin come from Harold Davies, North American Steam Locomotive Builders and Their Insignia (2005). The American Locomotive Company reached construction number 50000 in the summer of 1910, but had begun from 25000 in recognition that the business was an amalgamation of smaller manufacturers.

The use of steam plant had been regulated in Britain by the Boiler Explosions Acts of 1882 and 1890 (and many subsequent amendments). Insurance and annual inspection had become obligatory, but casualties had remained surprisingly constant: the ever-increasing use of steam engines had been accompanied, unsurprisingly, by a rise in the number of failures.

The annual report on the workings of the acts showed that 72 explosions had been investigated in the year ending 30th June 1901. These had caused 33 deaths and 60 injuries, and had been contributed by a variety of equipment. The greatest number of failures had occurred in steam pipes and valve chests, though there hasd been eight locomotive boilers anong the casualties. The Board of Trade report concluded that the causes were ‘deterioration or corrosion’(25 cases); ‘defective design or undue working pressure’ (16); ‘defective worksmanship, material or construction’ (11); ‘excessive pressure, defective safety vales, or mountings’ (2); ‘improper management by owners’ (4); and ‘ignorance or neglect of attendants’ (10). The remaining four were attributed to ‘miscellaneous’.

Impressive rises in output also seem to suggest that 1865–1914 was a ‘Golden Age’. Indeed, in some individual industries, the rates of growth were never bettered. The commentators of the day delighted in recording the growth of exports; the effects of changes in the prices of raw materials; and the fluctuations of the market for labour at a time when neither workers’ rights nor the effects of industry on its environment merited much thought in the struggle for industrial primacy.

Yet, for Britain at least, true supremacy, achieved in the middle of the nineteenth century, was actually very short-lived. Industrial output in the U.S.A., in particular, rapidly overhauled British efforts. Production of iron ore in Britain in 1872 reached 5.9 million tons, compared with only 1.67 million tons in the U.S.A.; by 1900, the figures had risen to 8.82 million tons and 14.8 million tons respectively. In 1901, the Mesaba district of the Lake Superior ore fields alone mined 8,991,278 tons—almost exactly comparable to the entire British output for the same period.

The first decade of the twentieth century was also unsettled economically. The preception that manufacturing businesses not only made colossal profits but also did so year-after-year is misleading. Some British manufacturers really did make their fortunes, but many others struggled to maintain trade. This was usually due to ever-increasing competition, though the Boer (or Second South African) War of 1899–1902 fostered considerable anti-British feeling in Germany and the Netherlands.

At the first annual meeting of the shareholders in Clayton & Shuttleworth Ltd, held in Lincoln on 30th April 1902, the Chairman reported that ‘the results of the [1901] year’s business was a profit of 46,851l. [£46,851]’, but that it was also ‘a keen disappointment and regret that at the termination of the first year in the history of the company he had to put before the proprietors an unwelcome statement, but the difficulties in earning a profitable return had been very great. The business was a fluctuating one, but such a collapse in trade during the past year was never anticipated. The reasons which had combined to produce this result had been acute commercial depression in Europe, disappointing harvests on the Continent and in other parts of the world, a sudden fall in the prices of raw materials in January 1901, and onwards, and the loss of South African trade in consequence of the war… With regard to the future, he did not regard the outlook as very rosy, and he did not think that matters had turned the corner on the Continent, to which the company looked for a large portion of its trade…’

Enthusiasm for expensive international exhibitions—Paris in 1900, Düsseldorf in 1900, St Louis in 1904—was often simply a way of allowing

Below: many early internal-combustion engines, regardless of whether they ran on gas, oil or petrol, followed the familiar lines of a small horizontal steam engine.

governments to advertise their trading positions at the taxpayers’ expense. The reality was that even well-established companies could fail to prosper. Even though the imperative was to expand, this could often seem reckless: for example, the French engineering Compagnie Fives-Lille could report a profit equivalent to £29,375 for the year ending 30th June 1901, but its Conseil d’Administration was unable to recommend payment of a dividend on the grounds that unresolved litigation could affect long-term business. A claim for £233,263 against the South of Spain Railway Company had been met with a counter-claim for £216,000, and the matter had been submitted to arbitation—which, even though reckoned likely to resolve in Fives-Lille favour, had yet to complete.

Other disputes involved the Long-Chéou & Tonquin Frontier Railway (in which the Chinese government had been cited for ‘bad faith’), the Santa Fé Railway Company, and the San Pedro Alcantara Sugar Company. The editor of Engineering commented that ‘there was certainly no lack of enterprise’ about the administration of Fives-Lille, but [the company] seems to run great risks on order to secure business…’

The four years of the First World War did little to change things, excepting that the struggle to meet ever-escalating demands for military weapons placed great emphasis on quantity at the expense of quality. Technological advances were made, but, in virtually every case, the germ of the idea could be discerned prior to hostilities. In addition, many a fortune made quickly from arms or munitions dissipated just as rapidly in the post-war economic gloom.

Yet the war did have important long-term effects. First, the way in which the map of Europe was re-drawn contributed greatly to the inevitability of the Second World War; secondly, great strides were made in the design of the internal-combustion engine, particularly as a result of aerial use; and, thirdly, the employment of large numbers women precluded an easy return to pre-1914 labour affairs.

The tremendous losses sustained by the merchant marine ensured that British trade was not what it had been in the first decade of the twentieth century, and the loss of trade in turn contributed to a perceptible loss of influence on the world scene. If there was any major beneficiary of the war, it was the U.S.A.—which had inherited the title ‘workshop of the world’ that had once been undeniably British.

Periodicals such as The Engineer and Engineering recorded industrial affairs in prodigious detail, and left a valuable legacy in the form of advertisements. The skill of the illustration-engraver had reached its peak by 1914, and the accompanying text often gives a comprehensive description of the output of each advertiser. The names of inventors and patentees may also be featured, together with lesser (but sometimes no less important) details of factory locations, overseas agencies or telegraph addresses.

The preliminary list that follows has been adapted from a variety of sources, including the classified-advertising supplements for January–June 1901 published in Engineering on 19th July 1901. These inserts provide a snapshot of British industry as the Victorian era gave way to a new century, but are now rarely found; they were almost always discarded before the issues were bound in half-year volumes, but the index to the advertisers remains a useful source of information…even if confined to comparatively simple headings.
