The company was tasked with updating the mechanisation of the British armed forces at the personal request of then Prime Minster, Stanley Baldwin. Resulting in the Wolseley Plant being used to produce tanks and facilitate research and development.<\/p><\/p> W.H. Tildesley Ltd produced a small selection of forged engine components for O.K Supreme.<\/strong> Ok-Supreme Motors was established in 1882 and based in Bromley Street, Birmingham. Following the First World War, they experimented with the development of a 292cc two-stroke motor but ultimately decided to utilise more successful engines supplied by other leading brands such as J.A.P (J. A. Prestwich Industries) and Matchless along with gearboxes from Burman Gears.<\/p><\/p> W.H. Tildesley worked with Parsons Chain Co in 1935 to produce a range of shackles and pins.<\/strong><\/p><\/p> Founded in 1902 by American Chain and Cable Co. A private company was formed as 'Parsons Non-Skid Co LTD' in 1910, focussed on tyre chains and general chain manufacture. They had two sister companies in British Wire Products and National Standard, another wire manufacturer. Both were based on the Parsons site. Renamed Parsons Chain Co. in 1952, the company produced high-tensile chains, pit cage suspension gear, and conveyor chains. The American Chain & Cable Co. would sell the company in 1970 to Babcock International.<\/p><\/p> W.H. Tildesley Ltd worked with Phoenix Motors in 1920, to produce brake, throttle, and gearing levers, as well as various plates, trunnions, shafts, and carriers for the chassis and engine.<\/strong><\/p><\/p> Founded in 1900, Phoenix was a small outfit producing very early iterations of the motor car. Starting with bicycles, the company began to offer a 'forecar' attachment, which would replace the front wheel of a bicycle with a Minerva Engine supported by 2 wheels with a central seat called the 'trimo'.<\/p>\r\n Although popular and well-made, Phoenix would struggle to scale production and remain competitive in the industry, with the last Phoenix being made in 1928.<\/p><\/p> W.H. Tildesley Ltd produced small car body components for Pressed Steel Co between 1935 & 1938. Mainly producing serrated plates for door hinge assemblies.<\/strong><\/p><\/p> Pressed Steel Co. was a specialised manufacturer of steel car bodies established by William Morris and two American Partners in The Budd Corporation and an American bank as a financier. Based directly alongside the Morris plant in Cowley, Oxford. The company was set for success, with Morris being able to push work through the factory from its plants. As of 1994, the assets and interests of the business are now under BMW ownership.<\/p><\/p> W.H. Tildesley Ltd worked with Riley from 1932, all the way up to the sale of the company in 1948. Producing connecting rods, levers, rockers, links & bracketry.<\/strong><\/p>\r\n WHT also worked with the Riley subsidiary, Riley Engine Co. to produce engine components for other Riley models.<\/strong><\/p><\/p> Founded in 1912 as part of the Riley Cycle Co, the Coventry based company started producing complete cars in 1913, with Coach Building and Engine divisions in Riley Motor Manufacturing Co and Riley Engine Company Limited. The brand traded independently until 1938 when the company and its subsidiaries went into Receivership. The business and its assets (minus Riley Engine Co) were then bought by Lord Nuffield of Morris who continued Riley production until 1947, at which time the works would be consolidated into Nuffield’s MG factory at Abingdon.<\/p><\/p> W.H. Tildesley worked with Robert Hudson between 1930 & 1949. Producing a coupling, split link and ball cup for the company.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>
With drawings going back as early as 1918 and continuing for over 50 years.<\/strong><\/p><\/p>
