Phillips, Hercules, Armstrong, Rudge-Whitworth, Norman and Sun were other names coming out of the Nottingham factories (many were for export only - e.g. they were making butchers bikes for export to Africa, which were designed to be loaded and pushed, rather than ridden!). At that time Raleigh was owned by TI (Tube Investments). TI also owned companies such as Reynolds Tube, Sturmey Archer and J. B. Brookes (Antler luggage and Brooks saddles).
Raleigh moved out of TI stable in 1987. The demise of Raleigh as a manufacturer was probably largely instigated by a disastrous project to computerise their production control systems (possibly something to do with a management consultant not understanding the Garbage In, Garbage Out principle). TI itself is now a subsiduary of Smiths Industries. In the 60s and 70s it was a major British based engineering multinanional. It seemed to have its fingers in just about everything and anything which used tubing from specialist hydraulic components, car exhausts, and stepped golf club shafts to central heating boilers and electric kettles taking in machine tools, steel works, aluminium smelting and coffin furniture on the way.
