Elliot From Jenner Rolls Royce 20hp
EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a pivotal moment in the history of aviation and automobile industries, featuring Sir Henry Royce (1863-1933), the visionary co-founder of Rolls-Royce Limited, alongside two of his esteemed colleagues, C.L. Jenner and A.G. Elliot. The image, taken in the early 1900s, showcases their shared enthusiasm for engineering innovation and the potential of new technologies. Sir Henry Royce, a British engineer and entrepreneur, is renowned for co-founding Rolls-Royce Limited with Charles Rolls in 1906. Their partnership led to the creation of some of the most luxurious and reliable automobiles in the world. However, this photograph reveals an intriguing side of Royce's interests – his involvement in aviation. C.L. Jenner (birth and death years unknown), an engineer and pilot, is seen on the left of the image. He was a pioneer in aviation, having made his first powered flight in 1903. Jenner's expertise in both automobiles and aircraft made him an invaluable asset to Royce. A.G. Elliot (1877-1947), another engineer, is on the right. Elliot played a significant role in the development of the Rolls-Royce 20hp model, which was the company's first successful production car. The trio's shared passion for engineering and innovation is evident in their collaborative efforts. In this photograph, the three men are gathered around a 20hp Rolls-Royce, but their attention seems to be focused on something beyond the car – perhaps the potential for the fusion of automobile and aviation technologies. This image serves as a testament to their groundbreaking work and the spirit of innovation that drove them to push the boundaries of transportation in the early 1900s.
