History
The Gwynt Automotive Company was founded on the 20th of May, 1915. Prior to this establishment, Myrodraeth did not have a very potential automotive industry. Though various ventures into this new industry did exist, they generally ended up as dead ends or very minor commercial successes. Thomas and Arthur Gwynt (B. 1873, 1875) were both well educated men; Thomas a businessman, and Arthur an engineer. Gwynt Auto was not Arthur's first attempt at automobile design and manufacturing, as he was deeply interested in the subject since seeing a small-scale automobile display in Lyandul on a visit and had spent several years beforehand creating designs.
He came to his brother some time in 1914 with the proposal to combine their expertises in an attempt to establish a successful automotive business. Gwynt Auto was officially registered in 1915, and shortly after debuted with their revolutionary Type A car. This car drew significant attention after several major state figures visited an automotive show, taking particular interest in this design. The show was well publicized because of this visit, and subsequently the Type A became well publicized as well. This new attention boosted sales, allowing an expansion of the company from the small operation of approximately twenty people to over sixty.
