Ferguson Brown Type A Tractor, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire
Manufactured in Huddersfield, Yorkshire, the Ferguson Brown Type A tractor set the world of ploughing alight by introducing farming’s first three point linkage. Now the height of trailed implements could be adjusted to enable, amongst other things, a consistent depth of ploughing. In complete contrast to this practical agricultural engineering came the luxury grand touring cars of Aston Martin. Sir David Brown acquired the company in 1947 and put his initials on the radical new DB series made famous by James Bond in a suitably modified DB 5. Very tasty!
