Aufl..   S Smith & Sons Ltd - 'The Golden Years' - Barry M Jones 3rd Edition PART TWO History of Smiths' clocks, watches, motoring, aviation, medical and industrial businesses including Kelvin & Hughes and many others. PART TWO: Motoring (speedometers, KLG sparkplugs, jacks), aviation (instruments, auto-pilots), marine, Kelvin & Hughes Ltd, industrial equipment, heating/ventilation, medical (Portex) etc Smiths began as jewellers in South London in the mid 19th century selling clocks and watches but with the arrival of the motorcar, they produced one of the first speedometers and with that came a host of motorcar accessories. The Great War saw expansion into aeroplane instruments. So important now were these that Smiths sold the jewellry side... but soon after bought ailing British clock-makers and launched a series of synchronous electric clocks. Having pioneered aeroplane auto-pilots in the 1930s Smiths proved crucial to the war effort, becoming a leading light, postwar, with their Kelvin & Hughes subsidiary in avionics. They also expanded into wrist-watches for the RAF at war's end later launching their famous 'Astral' and 'Empire' ranges, as well as medical and 'interconnects' products. Smiths' history is truly fascinating and this major work looks at all their many businesses in the various timepiece, motor, aviation, marine, medical and industrial spheres.   "... the attention to detail is particularly remarkable..."
