Talk:Alldays & Onions

Not an "automobile maker"

Seems like the company was yet another of these early automakers that are misrepresented as only or mainly such. They were already firmly established as makers of bellows, fans, turbines and the like as well as of high-quality bi- and tricycles, and the former branch of production continued long after they had given up their venture in motor cars.

However, I'm in no position to provide the article with sources confirming this. ---Keinstein (talk) 00:44, 12 August 2010 (UTC)

Correct. Bicycles f.e. were introduced already in the 1880s by Wm. Alldays & Son. The Traveller was a De Dion-Bouton Vis-à-vis built under licence. There were motorcycles under the Alldays, Alldays-Matchless (no connection to Matchless), and Allon trade names. The company was a manufacturer of motor lorries, cars and vans, cycles and motorcycles, complete outfits for foundries and workshops, hammers, fans, hearthes, forges, cranes, pulley blocks, etc., and a successor seems still to exist.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 10:26, 24 July 2017 (UTC)

These guys mainly made forges and blowers/bellows for blacksmiths

This article needs sorting out. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 217.44.7.73 (talk) 07:38, 13 November 2012 (UTC)

That' s correct. The article just tells a part of the story.--Chief tin cloud (talk) 10:26, 24 July 2017 (UTC)
