rdf:langString Arthur Lyon & Co Ltd. was a company based in London, England founded by Arthur Anderson Lyon M.I.Mech.E. (1876–1962). Arthur Anderson Lyon was an engineer and inventor who appears in the patent records in 1911 with a portable signalling device, but by mid-1916 his inventions move from signalling lamps to electric generators and batteries. He had created his own company, Arthur Lyon & Co, Caxton House, Westminster c. 1912, but in February 1915 he merged this with the Wrench Manufacturing Company of Crawford Passage, Farrindon Road, London to form Arthur Lyon & Wrench Limited. The merged company was based in Victoria Road, Acton, London, but was in voluntary liquidation by December 1920. Arthur Lyon & Co was re-formed directly to continue the manufacture of engine-powered generators and pumps, with a particular emphasis on light weight and portability. Production continued through World War II with military generators being the main product. In 1948 the company was acquired by Newage Engineers, and in 1950 they transferred Arthur Lyon & Co generator business to Barnack Road, Stamford, Peterborough. In 1965 Arthur Lyon & Co and Newage (Manchester) Ltd consolidated to form Newage Lyon Ltd, and production continues in Stamford now as Cummins Generator Technologies.
