I am just about to finish a book (over 200 pages) on this company and the two men who started it Percy Wadham and Percy Scott. The company was only in existance for about ten years before a break up and it then became Percy Wadham Specialities.
I am looking for any information that anyone might have on the reels they made the Meteor, Cowes, Dreadnought, Carisbrooke, Test, and Coronation. The reels could have either of the two company names on them in addition to various retailers who sold their reels. Only three reels had the names on them Meteor, Test and Coronation. They also had a very distinctive reel foot that I have not found used by any other maker and I have included a picture.

Can anyone help with additional information?
