This book, which is based on the Bank of England's own mainly
unpublished archives, describes the internal workings of the bank
from 1930 to 1960 under three governors, Lord Norman, Lord Catto
and Lord Cobbold. Each chapter is devoted to the organisation and
working methods of a particular department, such as Cashier's,
Accountant's (now Registrar's), the Printing Works, Overseas, and
so on, and the book includes the first published description of how
the bank continued working during the Second World War, when many
of its staff were evacuated to Hampshire and elsewhere. The book
also contains information on the bank's accounting methods and
profitability, and on the note issue including bank note design.
These decades were a period of enormous change for the Bank, when
its working methods (many dating back almost to its foundation in
1694) were radically updated and in some cases mechanised in a
progression of record-keeping from handwritten ledgers to
computers.
