EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a moment in automotive history, showcasing a Renault 16 TL automatic on a Laycock brake testing machine in Sheffield, South Yorkshire, in 1972. The image provides a glimpse into the world of car maintenance and engineering during this era. Laycock engineering was renowned for its production of vehicle testing equipment, and their base in Sheffield served as the backdrop for this intriguing scene. The Renault 16 TL automatic being tested was a relatively new model at the time, having been first manufactured in France's purpose-built plant near Le Havre in 1965. The photograph highlights the meticulousness of the industry as we see an unidentified male mechanic overseeing the brake-testing process. His expertise is evident as he carefully examines every detail to ensure optimal performance. The monochrome aesthetic adds a timeless quality to this snapshot from the past. It transports us back to an era when technology and transportation were rapidly evolving. This image serves as a testament to both human ingenuity and industrial progress. As we admire this piece captured by Michael Walters of Paul Walters Worldwide Photography Ltd. , we are reminded of how far we have come since then while appreciating our rich automotive heritage.
