From Daisy to Chain

摘要

What prompted Curteis to start making chain? The late Roger Curteis had been happy as a dairy farmer, but always felt his engineering experience was somewhat wasted. After selling the cows in 1974, he searched for something new to do. He saw a picture of a chain machine and decided to view it in Pforzheim, Germany. Henry, his elder son, was selling jewellery in London and was well aware that demand for chain in 1975 was growing beyond the supply of manufacturers like Starlink and BMC.
