  Georges Roesch - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Roesch, Georges (lived 1891 - 1969) was a Swiss-born automotive engineer.
The first successful post war model was a Georges Roesch designed six cylinder high speed tourer released in 1927.
The first Rootes Sunbeam, named the Thirty, designed by Georges Roesch, was propelled with a new 4503cc straight eight engine.

Roesch was the first to demonstrate that the gap in Potential performance between pushrods and overhead camshafts was smaller than was generally realised.
Georges Roesch paid considerable attention to this feature, insisting upon complete accuracy; no curves, kinks or cranks were permitted in the geometry.
By that time Georges Roesch was a broken man, ridiculed by his new superiors for his foreign accent and strange dress.

 Talbot (England)
Although the company became enmeshed in the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq combine after World War One, Georges Roesch, an outstanding Swiss engineer who had joined Talbot in 1916, was responsible for the 10/23 of 1923 which complemented some of the models of the pre-war range.
Roesch's next car was the pushrod ohv 1666cc 14/45, a refined and well-engineered six with significantly light valve gear, offered alongside the older 20/60 model in 1927 and 1928, though it was the company's sole model for the following two years.
A concern with a background of sales, rather than engineering, was hardly likely to look sympathetically on Roesch and his intelligently created cars, and in 1936 a Rootes Talbot Ten, with Hillman Minx ancestry, appeared.

 The Invincible Talbot - Vintage & Veteran Cars
Talbot's survival however probably owed more to the support it obtained from the much more successful Sunbeam part of the STD combine; a situation which was to be reversed 10 years later.
Sunbeam's designer Louis Coatalen was in overall charge but the Talbot fortunes were really turned around in the late twenties by its Swiss chief engineer Georges Roesch who designed the 6 cylinder 1665cc 14/45hp model which was introduced in 1927.
Georges Roesch designed the 14/45hp Talbot which was marketed from 1927.

It was about this time that a 25 year old engineer named Georges Roesch joined Talbot as their Chief Engineer.
All three factories were involved in the development of competition cars and it was not till the advent of the Talbot 90 that we had a distinct Talbot racing model that owed nothing to the others.
Georges Roesch was able with the Talbot 90 to put his idea of a modern automobile in front of the public.

The following year, Darracq was reorganised as part of the Sunbeam-Talbot-Darracq (STD) conglomerate.
The Swiss-native Georges Roesch became chief engineer and in the early 1920's, Talbot built a number of successful models, including the 14/45 hp, or Talbot 105, which was first built in 1926.
The Roesch era is documented in great detail by Anthony Blight in his book "Georges Roesch And The Invincible Talbot" (Grenville Publishing, 1970).

Aged 22, Roesch had already worked for Gregoire, Delaunay-Belleville, Daimler and Renault – a stunning CV to have at such a young age.
Talbot were to become the poor cousin of the group, being forced to produce some dull models; it says a great deal for Roesch that during this time he was able to create the Talbot 10/23 from a little Darracq model – a stunning achievement.
At the end of 1930, Roesch developed an engine which was still based on the same overall dimensions and layout as the 14/45 unit, yet had a capacity of 2960cc.

 autoclassic.com :: the history of classic cars : 1929 Talbot 14/45
Faced with almost non-existent sales of the older models, which had ageing technical features, Roesch was encouraged to start again – and did, from the ground up.
Even in original form, when it measured a mere 1,666 cc, and had only four crankshaft main bearings, it seemed to be years ahead of contemporary British opposition: in later years, developed, enlarged and even more magnificent, it would reach 3,377 cc and 123 bhp.
By 1930 Roesch had developed the Talbot 90, with its 2.3-litre engine, the 3.0-litre-engined Talbot 105 followed in 1931, and an impressive string of race and rally results ensued.

Though some may have been surprised by this result, Georges Roesch - who was the mastermind behind Talbot’s engineering at the time - was not.
Beginning in the mid- twenties, Roesch was determined to build one of the fastest, quietest and most dependable sports cars ever created.
When 5,000 rpm was considered the ceiling for an engine of the twenties, Roesch developed an engine that reached 6,000 rpm and an unbelievable compression ratio of 8.5 to 1.

In 1920, in the journal Comoedia, the critic Henri Collet, recalling the Russian “Big Five” nationalist composers of the 19th century, nominated six français et Monsieur Satie as the new young lions of French music.
They were Georges Auric, Darius Milhaud, Germaine Tailleferre, Francis Poulenc, Louis Durey, and Arthur Honegger, and their spiritual leaders were the writer-artist Jean Cocteau and the composer Erik Satie.
Their purpose would be to free French music from foreign, particularly German, influences, and to turn away from the whimsical vagaries of Impressionism.

Georges Roesch put a nice development of the pre-selector gearbox into his later Talbots which he called his accelerative gearbox.
This automatically pre-selected the next gear up until it got to top, when it would pre-select 3rd, then top again, etc. I have never driven one of these, but would be interested to know how it works out in practice.
ERAs used them as well, and I remember Dudley Gahagan saying how good they were, as you could pre-select the next gear you wanted on the straight and hang onto the steering wheel with both hands going round a corner, instead of having to fiddle with the gear- lever as with conventional gearboxes.

Most of the discussion has been about the animal depicted in the design.
My copy of the Georges Roesch biography is presently out on loan, but as I recall, the design was adapted from the crest of the Earl of Shrewsbury who was the money behind the Talbot automobile in its British production.
The original family crest depicted a Talbot hound, which was a sporting breed used by nobility - and which gave the name to the car.
