A History of Methodist Insurance in Britain

Founded in 1933 following the merger of the Wesleyan Methodist Church, the Primitive Methodist Church, and the United Methodist Church the previous year, it was the result of amalgamating the insurance funds of those three denominations.This history will prove as definitive as the author’s study of the financing of Jo…

Compensating the Workers
In 1931 the British government introduced pioneering legislation to combat occupational disease in the asbestos industry. A key feature was an Asbestosis Scheme for compensating workers for industrial injury and death. This article examines the implementation of the Scheme at Turner & Newall, the leading UK asbestos producer. The evidence reveals an inequitable system of compensation, especially when compared to the company's generosity to its sh…

Managing Industrial Decline
624 Book Reviews TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE The deep sociocultural divisions within the workforce were an asset to a management that, as Meyer shows, never conceded union recognition and fought UAW Local 248 at every step, using the tensions between batch and production workers as a lever against the UAW. Consequently, union security emerged as a persistent source of labor-management conflict and the main issue in several sharply fought strikes. Loca…

International Technology Transfer
Technology transfer is recognized as a principle means of relieving world poverty. In the absence of a comprehensive theory of transfer, developing countries must rely on the experience of their predecessors - that is, on case studies of earlier transfers. This text considers ten such case studies

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE Book Reviews 175 withholding payments and discounting invoices. A generation of goodwill evaporated. The point was not to make profits, as typically understood, but to generate enough cash flow to take advantage of the trumped-up depreciation allowances that cheated the tax man. This was, in Seymour Melman’s memorable phrase, profits without production. And, relentlessly, the Japanese machine tools kept com ing, their qual…

The Enlightened Paternalist in Action
This article argues that religion as an instrument of company welfare and entrepreneurial control survived into the twentieth century. At Port Sunlight, Cheshire, in 1907 William Hesketh Lever, later first Viscount Leverhulme, employed over 3,000 in his soap factory and housed 3,600 in his adjacent company village. Among the numerous and relatively splendid welfare benefits he supplied was a church building, Christ Church, Port Sunlight. Signific…
The Hundred Largest Employers in the United Kingdom, in Manufacturing and Non-Manufacturing Industries, in 1907, 1935 and 1955
These lists are offered as an interim working tool for business historians. They draw on the pioneering lists of largest manufacturing employers in 1907 and 1935 by Christine Shaw and Lewis Johnman, but aim to cover all the Standard Industrial Classification categories, except agriculture, public administration and the armed forces. The list for 1955 is entirely new, and can reasonably be seen as reflecting the full productive potential of firms …

TECHNOLOGY AND CULTURE 522 Book Reviews able appendixes might have included an explanation of the means by which the database was manipulated—we get no more than a passing thank you to the expert who helped in the complexities of computer processing. And while the map on page 217 is useful enough for rough delineation of the rating districts, much more could have been done with visual mustering of the evidence, which might thus have encour aged …

The "Emigrants to a New World" Gallery at the Merseyside Maritime Museum, Liverpool
The Merseyside Maritime Museum, one component of the National Museums and Galleries on Merseyside, is devoted to recording and re-creating Liverpool's role as the western gateway of Europe.' Trade in commodities and in people had been the port's business for 300 years. All that rapidly ended in the 1970s and 1980s. World depression saw the 5 miles of docks, basins, and wharves along the Mersey waterfront progressively abandoned. As one response t…

British Culture and Economic Decline
Damming the Flood
In the waning decades of the age of mercantilism, Great Britain intensified her efforts to keep at home the new industrial technology—technicians and machines—that the inventiveness of her people had produced. From his researches in the records of the Board of Trade, which played a major role in coordinating these efforts, Mr. Jeremy shows that as time wore on the policy of prohibiting emigration and exports became more and more internally contra…

British Textile Technology Transmission to the United States
This study examines the complex process of the transfer of technology in the early stages of industrialization. The manner and timing of the selective acquisition of portions of Britain's new textile technology by entrepreneurs in the Philadelphia region were determined by the subtle interplay of market forces, technological constraints, and active efforts to encourage or discourage the transfer

Innovation in American Textile Technology during the Early 19th Century
As technological historians from John L. Hayes down to George S. Gibb and W. Paul Strassmann have shown,' the most seminal period in the history of American textile technology occurred during the three decades succeeding the War of 1812. Following suggestions in H. J.

William Pollard and the Arkwright Patents
A ngered by the ill treatment he felt he had received from Parliament at trials of his suits for alleged infringement of his I775 cotton machinery patent, Richard Arkwright told fellow manufacturer Josiah Wedgwood in I785 that he intended to take revenge on an ungrateful Britain. Parliament had invalidated his patent rights to the extraordinarily productive cotton-spinning machinery which he had introduced ten years earlier; he would now invalida…
