About this audio guide
This guide to the Museum of Bath at Work in Bath centres on the nineteen fourteen Horstmann car on display and on the family of inventors behind it. It reaches back to Gustav Horstmann, a German clockmaker who set up shop in the city in eighteen fifty-four, and follows his youngest son Sidney from gearboxes to motor cars. Stand beside the car, close enough to see its wheels and springs.
