-* 1914 The make entered the market late in 1914 with a range of models.  The smallest used the 269cc [[Villiers]] two-stroke engine that drove  a [[A. W. Wall| Roc]] two-speed gearbox by chain and that had belt final dive.  A larger single had a 499cc [[Precision]] sv engine, [[Sturmey-Archer]] gearbox and belt final-drive.  There was also a model fitted with a 655cc [[J. A. Prestwich Industries|JAP]] V-twin engine.
-* 1915 The range remained much the same, with the addition of a 2hp model with [[Precision]] engine, two-speed gearbox and chain-cum-belt transmission.
-* 1916 The make was still listed that year, but then production ceased.  They had been over-optimistic in enterering the market at the beginning of the war, and the slightly German sounding name can have done little to endear it to customers.
