Sir Henry Royce: Establishing Rolls-Royce, from Motor Cars to Aero Engines

Description:

The life and genius of Henry Royce, the outstanding, retiring, and often tyrannical founder of Rolls-Royce

Henry Royce was born in 1863 in most modest circumstances when the internal combustion engine was yet to be invented and 40 years were to pass before mans’ first powered flight. Despite having just two years’ formal education, supplemented at 14 by three years’ apprenticeship at the Great Northern Railway Works before being curtailed by lack of funds, in 1881 he succeeded in finding work in the infant electronic industry. By 1884 this brilliant, committed man had branched out on his own, with just £20 capital. From there on, his ferocious work schedules and unbending urge for perfection led to the establishment of Rolls-Royce and the design of superlative cars, followed by aero engines, which would be the finest of their kind in two world wars and set a gold-standard for future aspirants.

In his description of Henry's early life experiences the author exposes the reader to all of the obstacles this man had to overcome in order to begin to succeed in life. I found myself feeling that my own response given similar circumstances would have paled in comparison to his discipline, determination and courage. It's a great story about the man, the company he created and the ultimate high degree of success he achieved. If you want to acquaint a young person about whom you care deeply with the mental attitude they'll need to succeed as Henry Royce did, buy this book and make it a present for them. if they learn and apply the lessons contained in this book you will have helped them very much when they are confronted with obstacles in their own life.

Great read.

A very interesting biography of a man, who from humble beginnings gave the world the Silver Ghost followed by the development of aero engines leading to the Merlin without which WWII may well have lasted longer than it did or even lost from a British perspective. And that these engineering gifts were given while enduring health issues which finally got the better of him.

Good book.
