This photograph, taken in France in 1896, offers a glimpse into the revolutionary world of cycle manufacturing during the Victorian era. The image showcases the inner workings of a factory where the latest innovation in bicycle technology, the cycle lever chain, was being produced. The chain, invented by English engineer William Spears Simpson, had become an instant sensation due to its ability to provide a smoother and more efficient ride than previous chain designs. The photograph captures a group of intently focused men, dressed in workwear, as they stand around various stages of the chain production process. The room is filled with an intricate network of machinery, including rollers and belts, all working in harmony to manufacture the essential component. The presence of Dunlop tyres in the scene highlights the collaboration between different industries during this period of rapid technological advancement. Despite the challenges of keeping up with the overwhelming demand for the new chain, the factory continued to operate at full capacity. Even the French Royalty expressed interest in the groundbreaking invention, further solidifying its place in cycling history. This photograph serves as a testament to the industrious spirit and innovative mindset that characterized the late 1800s, paving the way for advancements in transportation and manufacturing industries.
