Album showing different stages of cable manufacturing at the factory in Southampton. The factory was opened a year before the publication of these photographs by a company that later became a leading cable brand.

The company Pirelli-General was formed in 1914 and was held in equal shares by Pirelli, which is today the world's fifth-largest tyre manufacturer. In 2005, Pirelli sold its cable division to Goldman Sachs that changed the new group's name to Prysmian.
