Addison Motor Company
The Addison Motor Company was an English automobile company based in Liverpool. James Harold Atherton was the sole proprietor and works manager from 1903 until 1918. The 6½ hp (5 kW) two-cylinder engine was controlled by variable-lift inlet valves. It was promoted as "the Mercedes of the tri-car world". The company also produced motorcycles in 1904–1905. The Addison touring car and tri-car were shown and well received by ''The Motor'' at the ninth Liverpool Motor Show. The Addison tri-car won a silver medal at a hill-climbing contest held by the University of Liverpool Motor Club on 13 July 1905. In January 1912, it was reported that the company was so successful that they had to open a separate showroom at 7 Berry Street in Liverpool for their Alldays and Phoenix cars. Another car the company sold was the Speedwell. Around 1922, the company expanded to a larger garage. See also * List of car manufacturers of the United Kingdom :''This list is incomplete. Y ...

Brass Era Vehicles
Brass is an alloy of copper (Cu) and zinc (Zn), in proportions which can be varied to achieve different mechanical, electrical, and chemical properties. It is a substitutional alloy: atoms of the two constituents may replace each other within the same crystal structure. Brass is similar to bronze, another copper alloy, that uses tin instead of zinc. Both bronze and brass may include small proportions of a range of other elements including arsenic (As), lead (Pb), phosphorus (P), aluminium (Al), manganese (Mn), and silicon (Si). Historically, the distinction between the two alloys has been less consistent and clear, and modern practice in museums and archaeology increasingly avoids both terms for historical objects in favor of the more general "copper alloy". Brass has long been a popular material for decoration due to its bright, gold-like appearance; being used for drawer pulls and doorknobs. It has also been widely used to make utensils because of its low melting ...
