Alford & Alder

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alford and Alder (Engineers) Ltd. (established 1925 in Hemel Hempstead - closed 1969) was a british automotive engineering company, specializing in suspension, brake and steering gear components. It achieved early fame for supplying Malcolm Campbells speed-record making Bluebird (1927-1935).[1].

It changed name to Alforder Newton Ltd (1959) as it was acquired by Standard Motor Company, a purchase that financially troubled the buyer greatly.[2]. A rack-and-pinion setup was used in Triumph TR4 and Triumph Spitfire. It made suspension compoents for the Maserati 3500.
