Electrical engineering of the 19th century and its operators

Clouth works English comparison Armstrong's Elwick Works/North of England You can see how German industry was oriented not only from the product (product) to England, but also from the company building including the residential buildings for the employees in the background of the Elswicks plant (right picture). So one thought of the well-being of the staff and the maintenance of the workforce with a healthy workforce, which today is often ignored under the theme "Wild Capitalism". Because the light bulb and steamer (stevenson) came from this north-English area and "electrician" Franz Clouth and son Max were much in England, one will also be oriented to these English operating conditions as well as the participation in golf and golfball production (See golf!) As well as his registration as an electrician. To prove. http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/The_Engineer_1964_Jul-Dec:_Index
Tire Productions g Visions in the emerging tire technology for vehicles had already been already at that time (top: new proposals of the tire industry 2017) Franz Clouth lived in the new age, when more and more horses than the actual means of transport, including the goods you were looking for, were in the background, especially since the hard wooden bikes with iron rests on hard cobblestone plaster were not only uncomfortable, but also harmful to transport goods impact. From a military point of view, it was also important to get means of transport for large-scale deployments that could quickly and effectively transport military equipment and weapons. For the entrepreneur, the car became more and more interesting in the form of the truck, in order to be able to transport its produced goods economically in quantities. The hard wooden bicycles were used for the first time in solid rubber tires, and later in air-filled (pneumatic) car tire covers such as inner tubes and bicycle tires. Clouth also presented in the First World War in collaboration with Carl Leverkus / Carl Duisberg / I.G. (Later Bayer-Leverkusen) produced hoses for artificial rubber tires, which had an average service life of 6,000-8,000 km. This was a performance for the time. The carcass of the pneumatic tires consisted first of a fabric, which was then rubberized; The previous hard rubber tires were made of pure rubber material. At the time, inner tubes (inner tubes) have already been manufactured for use in wheel carcasses of transport means. The reason why Franz Clouth has not entered into the tire business as a major mainstay is not disclosed. Ultimately, however, he and his later successor Max Clouth must have convinced the risky beginnings of liability and the then still frequent tire problems to leave their fingers behind. In retrospect, probably a mistake. In the case of further tire production, however, it would have been urgently necessary to go to a considerable extent in a further extensive machine park in addition to specialist personnel and to order expensive winding machines in order to manufacture the carcass fabric. In addition, lack of space in the area of the company can also have been a reason.

The products were also on the right track, such as awards and awards. Why the tire technology was not one of the main fields of the Clouth productions, is not known, because not proven. At the latest, Franz and Max Clouth should have been awake with the recognizable disappearance of the military's interest in balloons and zeppelins due to the evolving aircraft technology and, above all, in connection with the air show 1910 in Cologne. Franz died in 1910. The development was already in a critical time zone, the first world war, the further explosive technology development after Tesla may also irritate the business view. The Clouth brothers were also recognizable in Cöln (later Cologne) with mature vehicles

Previously, John, who was a language development supporter at Krupps for her youngest son in Essen, repeatedly on vacation. The families had close connex among themselves. He also produced the handwritten report about his time, which shows that Krupps at that time also seem to have been car-mad. Report kindly given by Gillian Gibbon, his daughter. Alfred Krupp from Essen was as important for Germany as Lord Armstrong for England.
Cable production Franz Clouth had recognized the importance of cable production and cable laying within the framework of the economic confrontation with England and German colonialism. Clouth made the most successful deals with the laying of cables to the then German colonies. It is therefore no wonder that Franz Clouth supported and supported the colonial efforts of the German imperial empire. He was a co-founder or a member of the Supervisory Board of the German-Atlantic Telegraph Company, the Eastern European Telegraph Company, the German-Dutch Telegraph Company, the German-South American Telegraph Company and the Kabelwerke Aktiengesellschaft Felten & Guillaume (Riebenwerke) in St. Petersburg. With some of the German colonial travelers he was in a constant correspondence. There were initially negotiations between the company Felten & Guillaume and Clouth for a mutual supply of cables. The negotiations failed. Felten and Guillaume, therefore, founded their own paint factory, and Clouth set up its own cable manufacture in 1890 under the name of "gutta-percha-insulated wires and cables." Shortly after the company was created, Clouth was commissioned by the Reichspost And Clonda, who was also a member of the company Siemens & Halske, was able to move cables all over Europe, as well as cables to the entire city of Kaiserslautern, and other cities with Clouth's underwater, telephone and tram cables were Amsterdam, Liège , Munich, Rotterdam, Berne and St. Petersburg, and finally the city of Cologne, where he was the head of the company's production, Dr.Ing. Hc Zapf, who successfully brought further developments into the company. For the company, strategic and logistical problems arose very quickly with regard to the laying and transport of sea cables. The way to the sea was very far, the transports of the sometimes very large cable reels complicated, so that it felt, with the production to come close to the sea area. Clouth's own cable production was therefore completed on 11 May 1898. At the same time Land- und Seekabelwerke AG was founded in Nordenham. Franz Clouth was then there with 50% involved.Kölner and Berliner banks held the other 50%. Since no cable emptying ship was found in Germany, a corresponding ship was bought in England, and the "Podbielski" .Fels & Guillaumeh would first have to make the same decision, namely to build their own factory in Emden. In the course of negotiations by the Reichspost, which had a major interest in cable laying, both Felten & Guillaume and Franz Clouth both refrained from building companies in Emden and Nordenham. Instead, the founding of the Norddeutsche See cable works came into being. Felten and Guillaume were also involved with 50%. The company Land- und Seekabelwerke remained on the site in Nippes in the area of the business area of the company Clouth. For the sake of liability, there were two different legal persons. Within the scope of the production and the staff was often not to distinguish, who, who and what was was.

means in english:"Find out more Without rubber nothing moves. Rubber is one of the most important keys to today's mobility. To ensure this, natural rubber is produced every day from over 2.6 billion cubic meters of natural rubber. In the short and medium term, 500 million rubber trees are missing. For a car tire, the annual rubber production of up to five trees is required. In China alone , the demand for rubber and wood in the next four years will double again"
