			Phillips Cycles Ltd of Smethwick, Birmingham 
			 
			
			 In 1869 Walter Phillips and George Price became interested in the 
			new cycle industry. Price was primarily interested in the business 
			end of cycle manufacture, whereas Phillips was interested in the 
			actual making of cycles. The two realised that to successfully 
			manufacture cycles they would need a skilled engineer to design and 
			sort out any mechanical problems. 
			 
			Daniel Rudge was approached about manufacturing a velocipede 
			designed by Phillips. A deal was struck and Rudge was soon producing 
			cycles in a small workshop,  with Henry Clarke supplying the 
			wheels.  
			 
			During the 1950s, several cycle makers produced special cycles for 
			fitting cyclemotors to; among them were BSA (including New Hudson 
			and Sunbeam variants), Elswick, Mercury, Phillips, Triumph and Sun. 
			They would be supplied as a complete bike, or missing the rear wheel 
			if a Cyclemaster was to be fitted. 
			 
			Phillips, a division of B.C.C., Phillips, based in Birmingham, was 
			the second-largest British bike maker until merged with Raleigh as 
			part of the TI takeover in 1960. Raleigh-made Phillips models are 
			near the bottom of the quality range. Birmingham Phillipses often 
			featured a chainwheel with the word "Phillips" prominently featured 
			in the cutouts. |
