The Magic of a Name
The Story of Rolls-Royce
Nockolds, Harold
What more appropriate title could there be than THE MAGIC OF A NAME for a book which recounts the story of Rolls-Royce from the early days in 1904 when the first 10 h.p. two-cylinder motor car appeared from the factory of Royce Ltd, manufacturers of electrical cranes, to the vast organization which has not only provided 'The finest motor car in the world' but leads the world in the production of aero engines.
Three men were responsible for the great tradition which has built up around the name of Rolls-Royce - Frederick Henry Royce, mechanic and engineer - The Hon. Charles Shelley Rolls, aristocrat and adventurer - and Claude Johnson, organizing genius; fortunately followed by the driving force, mellowed by humanity, of the man the entire world of aviation knew and respected as Hives, or Hs, to his friends and colleagues.
This book is the authentic yet exciting record of one of the greatest industrial concerns in the world ROLLS-ROYCE Ltd.
