		When the Tariff Commission was established in 1926 the coachbuilders were one of the first industries to apply to have their case heard by that body.

	Graham Stevenson: January 2005 Archives

		The coachbuilders were rapidly forced to rethink their strategy generally.

	Dáil Éireann - Volume 35 - 04 June, 1930 - In Committee on Finance. - Vote No. 19—Tariff Commission.
		It is certainly over three years since it was referred to the Tariff Commission, and the loss in wages to Irish workers occasioned by the delay in reporting on the application has been estimated at over £1,000,000.
		In reply to a Parliamentary Question a few minutes ago the Minister for Finance admitted that the report on the application of the coachbuilders had been further delayed by the fact that the members of the Tariff Commission were appointed to conduct the Grain Inquiry.
		At the time that the Minister was proposing to establish the Grain Inquiry the fact that the appointment of these members [409] would have that effect was forcibly pointed out from these benches, but the Minister took no notice.

		The first serious efforts to integrate art and engineering for modern mass production were made in Germany in the early 1920s.
		This was in the Bauhaus design school, where the impetus came from the architect Walter Gropius; and the influence of this school was so great that by 1928 it was possible for no less than four separate industrial design consultancies to be established in New York.
		His continuing vitality and international influence are demonstrated by his being retained as a major industrial design consultant in the 1970's by the Government of the Soviet Union - this as he entered his eighties.
