Description: | This section consists of company registration papers comprising Memoranda, Articles of Association and Special Resolutions amending the Articles of Association for a number of businesses connected with the motor industry, many of which were tyre dealerships, likely to be authorised to sell Goodyear products and to undertake repairs and provide remoulds for Goodyear tyres. It is not certain what Goodyear's connection with these companies was, but there are entries for a number of them in the balance sheet accounts. They are listed here under 'dealership finance receivables', suggesting that they were authorised Goodyear dealers, and that Goodyear received an income through the sale of Goodyear branded products. It is possible that the survival of the registration papers within the Goodyear records indicates that Goodyear had some kind of shareholding stake in these companies, and may have been instrumental in their incorporation. They may well have functioned as Goodyear subsidiaries. Many of the documents were drawn up by Goodyear's solicitors, who are listed in the company's annual reports. However, no further evidence has been found within the collection to confirm this. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | 1949-1972 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
