Subject: [CR]Info needed on E.D.Bullard Co. & Bailen cycle helmet

I got an interesting email from a friend:

I received an unusual present and thought you might be able to fill in some of the history of it. It is a new 30 year old Bailen cycle helmet made E.D Bullard Co for the Bailen Helmet Company under Daly US Patent No- - - - - . It just so happens that the Daly Patent Holder was Noel Daly, Berys' father. Hal Bailen was the first to take up rights to us her fathers patents for helmet designs in the U.S. and he got Bullards involved in doing the manufacturing. We also found among the family stuff a wall plaque from E.D.Bullard and Co of Sausalito Ca presented to Noel Daly in recognition of the assistance he gave them. Do you know anything of either company or their history. Do you still see Bailen helmets or are they out of business? The patents expired in the 80's so we do not get royalties unfortunately. Just thought it was interesting to find a U.S. made bike helmet designed by a New Zealander. Cheers, Ian.

So anyone know of the compamy or product?
