The eBay GILLOTT looks remarkably like some frames put out by Falcon.

Equally there is every likelihood of a GILLOTT turning up that looks

remarkably like certain mid-range Raleighs and Carltons, built from TI's

own "True-Wel" mild steel tubing, complete with that untidy tubular

full-wrap over seat cluster.

Dave Marsh, who worked at the Raleigh/Carlton factory at Worksop, once pulled a fistful of unused Gillott head badges from a drawer in his office. When I asked him where he got them from, he said they were left over from when Raleigh produced some frames for Gillotts. I think you are spot-on Norris!
