Again, looking at the 1950 Cycling Manual, there is an advert for Radnall's Fitments of Birmingham est. 1895 and listed as "Quality Fitments."
There is a wonderful "scientific" testimonial from a Prof. A.M. Low, who was considered to be "the greatest authority and exponent of Cycling Technology," to the relaibility and quality of the "Grip-It" de luxe patent adjustable ring bearing brake!
Can anyone tell me more about Radnall's and do they ever come up for sale anywhere? What other parts did they make and how did they compare to other makers of the time?
