Hardcover. Condition: Very Good Plus. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good Plus. First Edition. 1998. 160pp. "Britain's proud industrial heritage forms the background to this story. Mac Taggart Scott began life in lowland Scotland by serving industries which then led the world - the shipbuilding industry, with its many dockyards on the Clyde, the Tyne and the Mersey; the coal industry, which once exported more coal than any other country in the world; and a prosperous paper making industry. . Although these are now but a shadow of their former selves, MacTaggart Scott has survived through a constant commitment to the qualities established by Hugh MacTaggart and Grigor Scott a century ago - quality, reliability and innovation. Having established a reputation in the field of submarine engineering systems during the First World War, a reputation maintained ever since, the firm entered the field of naval aviation between the wars and today Mac Taggart Scott's helicopter handling systems are in use with navies around the world. ? And it is in the world market where the firm is now a leading player, setting an example of how a business can adapt to changing circumstances in its established markets by broadening its horizons and exporting the expertise accumulated over many years, an artistry in engineering which forms a constant reminder of the skills of generations of Scottish craftsmen.".
