TOPIC OF THE DAY

Sir Henry Royce
Some readers will know very little about Sir Henry. Some will know quite a lot about him - but it is worth recording again some of his history and, in consequence, the history of Rolls-Royce.
Frederick Henry Royce was born in 1863. He was not born into a wealthy family - his father was a miller. He was firstly a telegraph boy and then apprenticed to the Great Northern Railways. He was interested in electricity and developed his knowledge of this industry at night school. He formed F H Royce and Co. in 1884 when he was twenty one. That Company manufactured dynamos and electric cranes; parts of one of the latter were recently acquired by the Foundation.
