The first forty-five years of the twentieth century saw the most
formative period in the history of commercial vehicles: in 1900 the
mechanically powered lorry was a novelty, yet by 1945 the ancestors
of today's 38-ton juggernauts were clearly identifiable. In sharp
contrast to the current picture, over forty lorry manufacturers
were active in Britain during the period, most of whom have now
sadly ceased production. In this book S. W. Stevens-Stratten has
provided a concise textual history of forty-two manufacturers and
their products ranging from the more prominent firms such as Albion
and Foden to less well-known concerns such as Bean and Caledon. The
book is profusely illustrated with more than 200 superb black and
white photographs and provides a feast of nostalgia for the more
general reader, as well as a comprehensive reference for the
enthusiast.
