Frank Bowden

The inventor of the Bowden cable was Ernest Monnington Bowden (1860 to 1904), not Frank Bowden. Ernest filed the patent, No. 25,235 for the Bowden Cable on 11th November 1896. On 12th January 1900 he granted a license to The Raleigh Cycle Company of Nottingham whose directors were Frank Bowden and Edward Harlow. At this signing they became members of E. M. Bowdens Patent Syndicate Limited . Many other famous names were admitted to the syndicate to fully exploit the usefulness of this invention. eg Messrs R H Lea & Graham I. Francis of Lea & Francis Ltd,

  William Riley of the Riley Cycle Company etc.
  More than 30 companies in UK alone and 16 in Europe, many of which are commonly remembered 
  to this day.

Founder of Raleigh[edit]

The page for Raleigh Bicycle Company states that Bowden DIDNT found the company, rather two other individuals did, and Raleigh shortly after took charge of it and changed it from Bicycle -> Cycle.

One of these two pages must be wrong. 2A02:C7C:C411:FC00:9EA5:C53E:14E5:6533 (talk) 20:07, 30 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]
