Wheels, carts and bodies for the motor trade. Build the wheel, the wagon or the body on a new chassis.
The wheelwright makes and mends the wheels and wagons of the country trade from seasoned timber and iron tyres, and the coachbuilder builds bodies to order on the rolling chassis the motor makers sell. Both are slow, skilled and paid by the job. The pressed steel body and the rubber-tyred trailer take most of the work within a generation, and the coachbuilders that last are the ones that build for the best cars.
