Updated 10.5.2001

    The "other" high quality British made cycle tubing. This brand was eventually owned by Tubing Investment Co. who also owned Reynolds. In the 1930s through 1950s there was a healthy competition between top quality makers to use one or the other brand. Those who endorsed A&P tubing included Claud Butler, Hobbs of Barbican and W.F. "Sandy" Holdsworth.
   The Chromium Molybdenum blended steel product was finally retired in favor of the better known Manganese Molybdenum sets made by  Reynolds.
