Vickers was a famous name in British engineering that existed through many companies from 1828 until 1999.
Vickers was formed in Sheffield as a steel foundry by the miller Edward Vickers and his father-in-law George Naylor in 1828. Naylor was a partner in the foundry Naylor & Sanderson and Vickers' brother William owned a steel rolling operation. Edward's investments in the railway industry allowed him to gain control of the company, based at Millsands and known as Naylor Vickers and Company. It began life making steel castings and quickly became famous for casting church bells. In 1854 Vickers' sons Thomas (a militia officer known familiarly as 'Colonel Tom') and Albert joined the business and their considerable talents – Tom Vickers as a metallurgist and Albert as a team-builder and salesman – were key to its subsequent rapid development. "Its great architects," the historian Clive Trebilcock writes, "Colonel T.E. (1833-1915) and Albert (1838-1919) Vickers... provided both inspired technical leadership... and equally astute commercial direction. Both men were autocrats by temperament, but neither shunned advice or avoided delegation; each, but particularly Albert, had a marked gift for the selection of talented subordinates."

Something's talking
New sensations, feelings
Looking for dreams
I can remind you
I can remember
I can live daydream
There's my place
From a distant space
A star is coming
New procession calling
Trying to thrill me
I can't remind you
I can't remember
I can't remain here
On your dream
Man you see I fly tonight
You can really meet sunrise
If you get the friends today
You can really flap your hands
I began to know you now
When your eyes are watching me
You don't have to lose yourself
There's a new world coming now
From a distant space
A star is coming
New procession calling
Trying to thrill me
I can't remind you
I can't remember
I can't remain here
On your dream
Man you see I fly tonight
You can really meet sunrise
If you get the friends today
You can really flap your hands
I began to know you now
When your eyes are watching me
You don't have to lose yourself
There's a new world coming now
I began to know you now
When your eyes are watching me
You don't have to lose yourself
