Grahame-White was an early British aircraft manufacturer, flying school and later manufacturer of cyclecars. The company was established as ''Grahame-White Aviation Company'' by Claude Grahame-White at Hendon in 1911. The firm built mostly aircraft of its own design, including the successful Type XV, but during World War I produced Morane-Saulnier types under licence for the British military. The company ceased aircraft manufacturing operations in 1920. In the same year the company was renamed ''Grahame-White Company Ltd.'' and manufactured cyclecars until 1924. From 1920 onwards a very basic two-seat 3.3 hp type with air-cooled single-cylinder engine of 348 cc capacity was offered. It had a two-speed transmission with final chain drive. The car had no conventional suspension, relying on flex in the wood frame and seat cushions. In 1921 a 7 hp type with a Coventry-Victor twin-cylinder engine (capacity: 689 cc) and friction drive was added for one year only followed in 1924 by a four-cylinder 10 hp type with a Dorman engine of 1,094 cc, but very few were made.〔 The final Angus-Sanderson cars were also made in the factory.〔 Grahame-White ceased its operations completely in 1924. ==Aircraft== * Grahame-White Baby * Grahame-White Type VI * Grahame-White Type VII Popular * Grahame-White Type X Charabanc * Grahame-White Type XI * Grahame-White Type XIII Circuit of Britain biplane/scout * Grahame-White Type XV * Grahame-White Type 18 * Grahame-White G.W.19 (License-built Breguet Bre.5) * Grahame-White Type 20 Scout (Prototype only) * Grahame-White Type 21 Scout (Prototype only) * Grahame-White Ganymede * Grahame-White G.W.E.7 * Grahame-White Bantam 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Grahame-White」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
