About the book >.>.> AS A PUBLISHER I have acted as midwife to countless business histories. These have ranged from full-scale works running to some six or seven hundred pages to extended essays like the present one. With few exceptions the most lively and interesting of these have been written not in the form of a purely domestic account of a company’s history but within the frame- work of outside events. In this way a company’s contribution to the community it serves emerges far more significantly than when its activities are regarded merely in isolation. I would like to record my thanks to the board of directors of Messrs Reeves & Sons for the freedom they have allowed me to exercise in my approach to their history. Theirs has been a most enlightened attitude. I have also to thank Mr Brian Little whose previous work in this field revealed a number of hitherto unknown facts about the early history of Reeves of which with his permission I have freely availed myself. Finally acknowledgments are due to the following authorities to whom I have had resort for some of the early background material (LL)
