    JCB Founder, J.C. Bamford, Dies

    Fri March 02, 2001 - National Edition
    Construction Equipment Guide


    Joseph Bamford, the founder of privately-held construction equipment manufacturer JC Bamford, died on Thursday at age 84.

    Bamford’s initials, JCB, were emblazoned on his excavators and diggers, and became a generic term for the machinery which entered the Oxford English Dictionary in 1985.

    The JCB Group remains owned by Bamford’s son, Anthony Bamford, who is chairman and managing director.
