Description: | This section contains incomplete sequences of a number of in-house publications produced by Goodyear Tyre and Rubber Company (Great Britain) Limited, as well as a smaller number of sequences of publications issued by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company for Goodyear International. The primary readership that these magazines were aimed at were Goodyear workers, but different publications were produced for different divisions of the company, and the style and content of each title varied according to the readership. The largest and richest sequence of in-house publications is 'The Wingfoot Clan' for the Goodyear plant at the Wolverhampton plant which includes substantial information about workers at the factory. Issues of this magazine date from 1928 to 1977 with the only significant gap between 1958 and 1967. There are also a small number of copies of 'The Wingfoot Clan' produced by an editorial team at the Goodyear plant at Craigavon, Northern Ireland during the late 1960s and early 1970s. There are shorter sequences of 'The Goodyear Triangle', produced for Goodyear sales and advertising employees and 'The Goodyear News', produced for Goodyear dealers. These date from the 1940s to the 1960s, with some gaps.
The section includes a selection of in-house publications issued by Goodyear International for its workers worldwide which mostly date from the 1960s, with the exception of souvenir anniversary issues of 'Goodyear Overseas News' and an issue of 'Transportation' produced by Goodyear Tire and Rubber Company, Akron. Ohio, which date from the 1950s. There are also two issues of 'Quota', the magazine for Goodyear International sales and advertising employees.
There are also sequences of magazines aimed at individuals and organisations in other industries who used Goodyear products or who were authorised to sell them. Most of these magazines date from the 1950s and 1960s, and include issues of publications produced for the transportation industry, the agricultural industry, and for others who used Goodyear rubber products for heavy industry or for shoe repairs. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | 1928-1977 | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
