Abstract

AbstractThe motor vehicle industry in Scotland was a microcosm of the British industry in the years to 1914. Major characteristics of the industry are outlined and the ten major vehicle manufacturers are distinguished from the fifty makes of vehicle built in Scotland during the period. Five integrated purpose-built motor works are considered in some detail. The factories illustrate different phases of design and construction methods, from the traditional mill building of the Granton Motor Works (1899) to the Kahn-style reinforced concrete structure of the Arrol-Johnston Company (1913).
