CLYNO  8 H.P. SPRING FRAME COMBINATION SIDECAR MODEL
Clyno Engineering Company, later Clyno Engineering Company (1922) Ltd, was a
motorcycle and car manufacturer that operated in Thrapston from 1909 to 1910 and
then in Wolverhampton from 1910 to 1929.[1] During this time they produced over
15,000 motorcycles and between 36,000 and 40,000 cars, at one point becoming
Britain's third largest car manufacturer.
As with many manufacturers, the First World War was a time of prosperity for
Clyno. Together with Vickers they created a |motor cycle with machine gun
attachment, which was produced in large numbers. The choice of Clyno over its
competitors as supplier of the standard motorcycle combination outfit for the Motor
Machine Gun Service was made in 1915, and is said to have been a decision taken
by Winston Churchill.
