This is the story of a great British car marque and its pioneering founder, Herbert Austin. As a teenager Herbert went to work on a sheep farm in Australia, owned by Frederick York Wolseley. The confident young Austin told Wolseley he could make new sheep-shearing machinery work better. He was offered a position with the Wolseley Sheep Shearing Machine Company in Sydney. Austin took out personal patents on the improved machines, and in March 1892 he returned to England with his wife and daughter. He sold the patents in 1892 in exchange for shares, and he was appointed Inspector of Machines and Works Manager in new premises in Birmingham, where bicycles were made during lulls in production. Austin persuaded the Wolseley board to invest in car production, which began in 1896 In 1901 Vickers, Sons & Maxim set up the Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Co Ltd in Birmingham, with Austin as manager, with a 33% shareholding. Austin remained chairman of the board until 1933, and the firm survived into the 21st century as builders' merchants Wolseley Plc. When Vickers engaged J D Siddeley to build 'Peugeot-type' cars, Herbert Austin, still not yet 40, left Wolseley and set up his own firm, the Austin Motor Co, in Birmingham. He made a number of successful vehicle types, and in 1917 Herbert Austin was knighted for his contribution to the War effort, building aircraft and armoured cars. In the 1920s and 1030s Austin became famous for the Seven and the Heavy Twelve, among many other car types. In 1938 Leonard Lord, snubbed by William Morris, moved across to Longbridge to help the opposition. He reorganised the work processes, launched new models and prepared Austin for War. Lord Austin died in 1941. Leonard Lord oversaw the postwar growth of Austin, and its combination with the Nuffield group in 1952 as the British Motor Corporation. BMC became part of British Motor Holdings in 1966, then sank into British Leyland, later renamed Rover Group. The Austin name disappeared in 1987.

Is really comfy, it does the job, you can't go wrong with it. Just buy it if you have a 75% keyboard or less because is not long. For me is not a problem.

Fits Magic Keyboard Perfectly
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Slim
This is exactly the length of the Magic Keyboard and it is low to the ground. I did buy a thing that angles the Magic Keyboard slightly upwards in the back so it has a small angle and then I have this wrist rest. It is wonderful. I am so glad after all the digging and looking I found this one and bought it. I took it out of the box and didn't remove the paper on the back to make sure I liked it. I do, I love it. It is not only comfortable, it looks sleek, fits exactly and I don't get sore after hours upon hours of typing. The quality is good. I have zero complaints and feel lucky this is the first one I chose as it hit the mark.

Comfortable Wrist Rest for larger laptops.
Size: Keyboard Wrist Rest (Pack of 1), Style: Mechanical & Gaming
I bought this to use with my new 17 inch MSI gaming laptop. I was getting a very sore wrist as the laptop is pretty tall. This is tall enough that it is preventing the strain on the wrist. It is comfortable and not too hard, but firm enough to support my wrists. It is long enough to fit the entire length of my laptop without being too long. The curved shape puts the extra padding on the left side where I use it most for the WASD keys, but also gives me padding on the right for when I am typing and need it there also. It has a strong durable feel to it, but is smooth and soft. The bottom is shiny and rubbery and grips my lapdesk so that it does not slip and stays right where I place it. It appears to be well constructed, and considering the price, I would expect nothing less. I am very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone with a large laptop or gaming keyboard.
