Dorman Engineering Co, firstly of Northampton, and then of Stafford.
1902 Produced Whirlwind motorcycles, a few primitive machines that were typical of the era. The engine was hung from the downtube or within the frame. They had belt drive and were of basic construction. Also made D. E. C. engines.
Later, the company built the oil-cooled Bradshaw engines.
Perhaps this company was related to W. H. Dorman and Co, engine manufacturers of Stafford?
