Burman and Sons (original) (raw)
Burman and Sons Ltd, of Ryland Road, Birmingham, West Midlands, manufactured Burman-Douglas steering gear. Their worm and nut design of steering gear was fitted to pre-war vehicles such as the Ford Eight and the Ford Prefect, the Bedford CA, plus heavy trucks and off-road vehicles - both pre and post-war. In its day, Burman-Douglas steering-gear was regarded as... ... a "quality" feature of a car chassis specification, but the worm and nut design was eventually surpassed by the more direct rack and pinion design which dominates today.
