[QUOTE="ClassicBiker, post: 53453, member: 1632"] TWN Triumph Werks Nuremburg. Triumph was started by a German immigrant Siegfried Bettemann. He started out making bicycles and moved into motorcycle and car production. He chose the name Triumph because it pretty much a universal word understood in many languages. Eventually he was elected Lord Mayor of Coventry in 1913. The pre-1936 history of Triumph is interesting, Ivor Davies and Harry Louise cover it pretty well in their respective books. It gets glossed over in later books which prefer to concentrate on the period after the motorcycle production is sold off to Jack Sangster who moved Edward Turner from Ariel. The rest as they say is history. Steven ps [url]http://classicmotorcycles.about.com/od/historicaldevelopment/ss/Triumph-TWN.htm[/url] [/QUOTE]
