Ferodo

Via TheVeloBanjogent, the sleek Ferodo catalogue of 1938 touting their competitive wins,
Including that of  the Kickham memorial trial of C. N. Rogers in Royal Enfield,
And that of L. Holdsworth in the Victory Cup Trial on Royal Enfield,
And again C. N. Rodgers in the West of England Trial,
Apparently the company, founded by Herbert Frood in Chapel en le Frith, southeast of Manchester,  still exists today, as part of the Federal Mogul conglomerate.

  1. Great find and great pictures. What a sport. Everyone standing so close to the competitors and everyone dressed for miserable weather and mud. No helmets, of course.
