Electrically welded steel tubes and their uses today : booklet issued by Tube Products Ltd., Oldbury, Worcestershire, UK : c1935 : title page 2
A fascinating trade brochure issued by Tube Products Ltd., of Oldbury - one of the Black Country towns then in Worcestershire. Tube Products Ltd was formed in 1929 by Tube Investments, the large industrial holding combine, but unusually this catalogue makes no mention of the parent company. Tube Products made use of several patents surrounding electrical welding fo tubes that TI had acquired in the 1920s. The company also incorporated H. Joyce & Co.). The booklet describes the Electrically Welded steel tube as being scientifically produced from the virgin strip leading to a more precise, accurate product than by older methods.
As can be seen from this stylish catalogue a wide range of uses were promoted for the company's products - ranging from bicycle frames, furniture, industrial products and display material. Several of the pages note other TI subsidiaries such as PEL who made furniture as well as specific designers including Wells Coates who made the most of the 'modern' looks afforded by the use of tubes.
The title page has a half page flap that opens to show 'tubes ont he move' relating to the company's products as used in the then very popular bicycle industry.
