Book Review: "Framing Production"
"Framing Production: Technology, Culture and Change in the British Bicycle Industry" by Paul Rosen is a work of scholarship examining the interplay in culture between sociology and technology using the Raleigh corporation's history from the 19th thorough the early 21st century for examination with "Social Construction of Technology" methodology.
Neither glossy nor glib Rosen has done a thorough job with primary and secondary sources to provide a conceptual framework to understand the development of bicycle production from Craft to Mass to Globally Flexible using Raleigh as the primary focus.
Worth a read for those so inclined.

Thanks for the post, Amazon has them in stock in hard and softback, new and used. I'm assuming there's some good photos in there, so I ordered a hardback. But I'm cheap, so I got it used - $10.

It won't make much of a coffee table book but seeing images of the "lower room" in 1921, "final inspection' in 1935 and "boy's & men" in the rim lining department in 1940 at Raleigh give a hint of what working in a semi-Fordist production facility was actually like.
Not a great deal different than what I saw inside Schwinn's Chicago production facility 30 years on firmly in the era that Rosen calls the "Mass" bicycle with as much vertical integration as possible and a straddle between Fordist assembly line and craft processes.
