abstract = "This chapter discusses the factors combined to influence motor adoption, even if in a heterogeneous industry with breweries of varied size and operation, these factors would have played out differently in different places. In 1913 George Watson, the Commercial Motor Users Association{\textquoteright}s inspecting engineer, stated that “From the earliest days of the motor industry the brewery and allied trades realised the possibilities of mechanical transport”. A joined-up approach to how transport is impacted by and impacts the nature and development of supply chains and the demands of the different users – shaped by various broader factors for instance government and competition –is required. The result was, Watson argued, a “feeling of unrest in the haulage and transport departments” and suggested the use of an increasingly viable alternative for distribution; the strike could “only be of advantage to the commercial motor industry”.",
