EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph, taken in 1896, offers a rare glimpse into the manufacturing process of Dunlop tyres during the Victorian era. The image showcases a group of women diligently working in a factory setting, with their focus on inflating the tubes of the pneumatic tyres. The women, dressed in long skirts and aprons, are seated at individual workstations, each equipped with a tube and a bellows-operated pump. The scene exudes an air of industriousness and collaboration, as the women work in unison to ensure the production of high-quality tyres. The tubes, once inflated, would be carefully attached to the bicycle wheels, providing a more comfortable and efficient riding experience. The use of pneumatic tyres, which had only recently been introduced, revolutionized the cycling industry, making bicycles more accessible and popular as a mode of transportation. This photograph serves as a testament to the ingenuity and determination of the workers who played a crucial role in bringing this technological innovation to the masses. As we observe this historical moment, we are reminded of the importance of perseverance, teamwork, and innovation in the face of new challenges. The women in this photograph, with their unwavering focus and determination, embody the spirit of the Industrial Revolution and the advancements it brought about in transportation technology.
