C.H.Wood Jowett Photos

[isleofthanet]

Hi,
I am always looking for new photos of Bradford CD and just found an incredible one hundred and fifty five photos of Jowetts including the CD, R1, R4, Jupiters, Javelins, Bradfords plus the Jowett factory etc on the Bradford Museums website at www.Bradfordmuseums.org. Click on the Photo Library then put Jowett in the search box and go!

Best Wishes

Alan

ps I like the photo of the CD chassis looking up from underneath!

great to see that the industrial museum has put these on the web. However I don't understand how they can claim copyright on them as surely the original coppyright would belong to Jowett CArs Ltd who commisioned woods to take the pics on their behalf. So as the club owns JCL we should also be entitled to the copyright. No doubt the legal brains within the club will explain why I have got it wrong .

the sods have also put some electonic gremlin in to prevent the pics being saved on a PC and haave not published a price list on their website.

Copyright is normally with the photographer, although the person that commissioned would have a right to use. In this case the museum would have a either purchased or inherited the copyright when they acquired the negatives. Copyright law would usually define an expiration date (probably 25 years for photographs), but if they had compiled the pictures and then published that compilation that would probably constitute a new copyright on those images.

Any lawyers in the house?
