Dennis Fire Engines

In this comprehensive book, the author charts the development and production of one of the most famous fire engine manufacturers in the world. After an introduction that outlines Dennis's early days of manufacturing bicycles and cars in Guildford, the author describes the initial fire engine design in 1908 which was to establish Dennis as a fire engine maker and the principal supplier to the London Fire Brigade.

Technical developments were accompanied by export success to Commonwealth countries where the name Dennis became synonymous with fire engines. After supplying fire-fighting trailer pumps that were used in the Blitz, Dennis production continued to be innovative and varied in the post-war years, and the author explains the development of both the small town and country fire engines as well as larger engines, which were the mainstay of city fire brigades.

The author brings the story right up to date with the development of both the Dennis Rapier and Dennis Sabre. The Rapier was considered the ultimate fire engine and both models enjoyed export success until the company ceased independent production in 2007.

120 Years of Dennis Buses

Cet ouvrage illustré retrace l'histoire de Dennis Brothers, fondée dans les années 1890 lorsque John Dennis passa de la fabrication de bicyclettes dans le Devon à la construction de véhicules à moteur à Guildford dès 1901.
L'entreprise produisit d'abord des voitures, des utilitaires, des camions de pompiers et des autobus. La production automobile cessa en 1913, mais l'activité des véhicules lourds se développa après la Première Guerre mondiale, avec des ventes au Royaume-Uni et à l'étranger.

Dennis Brothers fut rachetée par le groupe Hestair en 1972, puis connut plusieurs propriétaires. En 2004, un consortium dirigé par Alexander Dennis en prit le contrôle. Grâce à une gamme étendue, la société devint le principal fabricant britannique de véhicules de transport de passagers.

Illustré de nombreuses photos inédites, ce livre offre un aperçu clair de la longue histoire des autobus Dennis.

Dennis Buses and Other Vehicles

The Dennis company has been building vehicles since 1895, making it the oldest continuously producing British manufacturer. From its origins in a small Guildford shop, the company has grown to become a major bus manufacturer with its products selling around the world.

This book discusses the company's highs and lows, through two world wars, challenging markets and ownership changes. It documents the vehicles produced and their innovative design features, from early cars and street-cleaning machines to vans, buses, trucks, fire engines and ambulances.
First-hand descriptions of how, and why, some of the company's most successful products such as the Dart, Trident and Enviro buses evolved. It explains why their once market-leading fire engines are no longer made.
It also analyses the reasons why some products were less successful and explores what happened to parts of the company that were sold over the years. Finally, the company's future opportunities and challenges are considered.

The author, Andy Goundry, has not only drawn on his own personal experience of almost twenty years of employment with the company but he has drawn on what is left of the company archives, private collections and first-hand accounts, to produce this book as a salutation of over 125 years of continuous manufacturing.
