BAYLISS AUTOVENTS

• 99999 - Dormant Company

It was back in 1964 that Bayliss Engineering, as it was then called, sold its first autovent. The story, however, started a few years earlier when the founder of the firm, Bert Bayliss, who was a keen gardener, was standing in his greenhouse with his son Ken, a newly qualified engineer with an interest in design... Bayliss Engineering, now called Bayliss Precision Components had been founded in the 1930s after the owner Mr H.D. Bayliss, bought machinery and tools to service his fleet of buses which ran between Ashbourne and Derby, and is still a precision sub-contract engineering firm today... During the Second World War it was engaged in making parts for the Mulberry Harbour, used during the D Day Landings, parts for bomb testing tanks and axles for Jeep trailers. After the war, the machines were put to use making parts for televisions and pins for coal cutting machines. Ken therefore, had the equipment and machinery he needed for making the first prototypes of the Bayliss Autovent..
