Description: | Employees in the tyre room at the Goodyear Tyre & Rubber Company (Great Britain) Ltd. The workers are shown next to a row of tyre building machines (before conveyors were used). The bands of rubber can be seen with the gentleman on the left. The image adequately shows that tyre construction at this time required little mechanisation, with much still carried out by hand. The gentleman to the right is holding a strip of material ready to be placed on to a machine. The floor of maple wood has only recently been installed. | License: | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/uk/ | Publisher: | Wolverhampton Archives | Rights holder: | Goodyear Tyre & Rubber Company (Great Britain) Ltd. | Subjects: | Photograph Motor industry Tyres Photographs First World War (1914-1918) | Temporal: | [1930s] | Source: | Black Country History | Identifier: | http://www.blackcountryhistory.org/colle... | Go to resource |
