The Nuffield Universal was a tractor produced from 1948 by the Agricultural Division of British Morris Motors Limited later a subsidiary of The British Motor Corporation Limited. When William Morris the founder of Morris Motors LImited was honoured with a title and elevated to the peerage he chose the name of his Oxfordshire village, Nuffield. When in 1948 the Morris Motors Agricultural Division launched their tractor range the name Nuffield was chosen to be the brand name for the company's agricultural products. The design was similar to the new David Brown built tractors as the designer Dr. Merit had also worked on the design of the David Brown 50D before moving to Nuffield.

Famous quotes containing the word universal:
“The axioms of physics translate the laws of ethics. Thus, “the whole is greater than its part;” “reaction is equal to action;” “the smallest weight may be made to lift the greatest, the difference of weight being compensated by time;” and many the like propositions, which have an ethical as well as physical sense. These propositions have a much more extensive and universal sense when applied to human life, than when confined to technical use.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
