Description: | The material in this section relates to the production, distribution and sale of Goodyear products in Britain, and also includes material relating to the operation of the Goodyear factory at Wolverhampton which manufactured a wide range of these products. The operational records consist of instruction manuals and associated papers which provide a wealth of information about the functions and workings of the factory during the 1930s and the immediate post-war period, and include operating statistics; factory circulars; and manuals containing instructions for the operation of various departments within the plant. The sales and advertising records include sales figures; template letters sent to customers; and other internal circulars and administrative documents; but the bulk of the material relates to the work of the Goodyear advertising department, consisting of sales catalogues; price lists; leaflets; posters and other advertising material, largely dating from the 1950s to the 1970s, but including some earlier items.
The records in this section are a rich source of information about the range of Goodyear products manufactured and sold during this period, and much of the sales and advertising material contains detailed technical information about individual product specifications and pricing. The operational papers provide an insight into the running of the Wolverhampton factory, and contain some information about the manufacturing process on a fairly general level. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Wolverhampton Archives | Temporal: | 1913-1980s | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
