History[edit]
In the early 1930s, Goblin vacuum cleaners were manufactured by the British Vacuum Cleaner and Engineering Co. Ltd. (BVC). The managing director was Hubert Cecil Booth who, the company claimed, had invented the vacuum cleaner in about 1900, although it was subsequently copied in the USA and elsewhere.[1]

The Court Circular for 25 October 1902 recorded that Booth had shown the king and queen the vacuum cleaning process at Buckingham Palace, and that as a result of this, BVC vacuum cleaners were installed there and at many other royal palaces throughout Europe. By the 1930s, many public buildings were equipped with forty or more centralised vacuum cleaners using a common extraction system. These centralised systems consisted of an air exhauster, a dust filter (with detachable dust container), and wrought iron pipes run through the building, to which flexible hoses could be fitted for use in individual rooms. Important users included the Houses of Parliament, Imperial Chemical House, the Bank of England, and the headquarters of the State Savings Bank in Victoria, Australia.
Goblin was the trade name of the company's domestic cleaners. Their industrial cleaning systems using similar technology were used in power stations and factories, and include chimney cleaning devices, in Birmingham, Edinburgh, Calcutta, Barcelona, Shanghai and in HM Dockyards worldwide. The company also made washing machines and Teasmade automatic tea-making machines.[2] By 1947[2] they had a large factory – previously an artificial silk works[3][4] – at Ermyn Way, Ashtead, near Leatherhead in Surrey.[5]

From the 1970s, Goblin became a well-known budget domestic brand. Whilst Hoover and Electrolux dominated the top end of the British vacuum cleaner market, Goblin continued to sell large numbers of cheaper cleaners. Popular models included the 1970s 'Housemaid' cleaner (with an advertising campaign featuring Jenny Tomasin of Upstairs, Downstairs fame) and the compact 'Rio' cleaner of the 1980s. In the early 1980s the company changed its name to BVC, British Vacuum Cleaners, though the new name never stuck with staff and locals. In 1984 the company decided to cease operations at the Leatherhead plant and move to Gosport, Hampshire,[citation needed] and its former site was redeveloped as a headquarters for Esso (now ExxonMobil).[5]

In 1973,[2] Goblin was bought by Birmingham Sound Reproducers (BSR), alongside their Swan Brand subsidiary.[6] BSR sold Goblin to American company Shop Vac in 1984,[7] who sold their European business – including a vacuum cleaner plant at Tralee, Ireland – to Glen Dimplex in 1998.[8] Glen Dimplex, who also manufactured Morphy Richards vacuum cleaners and other small appliances, continued to manufacture Goblin vacuum cleaners until the mid-2000s. Most of these were budget cylinder models similar to their Morphy Richards cleaners but with lesser build quality and fewer features. From the mid-2000s, the Goblin name was phased out in favour of the Morphy Richards brand.
As of 2020, the brand has been revived and is used for floorcare products sold at Asda.[9]
BVC continued as a maker of industrial vacuum cleaners and central vacuum cleaning systems. By 2006 it was part of the South African Barloworld conglomerate, who also owned Lamson Engineering, a maker of pneumatic tube transport systems, also based in Gosport. BVC and Lamson were bought by Quirepace, who continue to produce BVC cleaners from their site at Fareham, Hampshire.[10]

The Engineering Disciplines
While it is arguable which race first devised the science of engineering on Azeroth, there is little argument as to which races are the main proponents of it in modern times: the gnomes and the goblins. Their dedication to engineering as a collective whole has not only fueled fantastic inventions in what is arguably a magical Age of Invention, but it also fueled their intense racial rivalry. Nowhere is this more evident than in their divergent disciplines.
Gnome Engineering
The gnomes as a race tend to excel in the design of items intended to manipulate and control the world around them. While they maintain a cursory understanding of explosives and weaponry, gnome engineering focuses instead on items that quite literally try to make life easier and more accessible. It is a discipline of theoretical possibilities made reality through gnomish know-how. Some possibilities, however, are never fully realized.
Goblin Engineering
As a race that finds itself as neutral in almost every conflict, goblins have taken great steps to turn science into profit. They embrace the practical applications of engineering, as evident in their radical designs of explosives, firearms, and machinery. Goblin engineering only maintains a passing interest in engineering theory; their inventions usually don't have the issue of not working, but rather working too well. It is certainly not for the faint of heart.
Discipline Study
Gnomes and goblins protect their knowledge from each other to such lengths that it is nigh impossible to access both sets of disciplines simultaneously. Each race, regardless of political affiliations, keeps the knowledge of these disciplines available only to those who agree to forgo pursuit of the other's discipline. If a student chooses to embrace gnome engineering, for example, then no knowledge of goblin engineering will ever be made available to them.
Permanent Decisions
The previous section highlighted an important point about the two engineering disciplines that must be reiterated for the sake of education. A decision to engage in either of the two disciplines means that the opposing discipline's schemata will not be available for study. While such finality may be daunting to the layman engineer, the seasoned one understands that gnomes and goblins guard their secrets with complete fervor; some knowledge is always better than none.
Quotes
'You want to know about goblin engineering? Try asking one of their best and brightest engineers about it - I think his name is 'Nubby Stumpfingers'. Want to know why he's named that? THAT'S goblin engineering.'
-- Ringo Tragediction, gnome engineer
'Say what you want about us goblins, but I will tell you this: WE HAVE EXPLOSIVES!'
-- Yazz Nitrospork, goblin bombardier
