1896 Public company incorporated to purchase an invention that improved on the ordinary ball bearing used in cycles and elsewhere.[1]
1897 The company sub-contracted the work of making the bearings in preference to spending money on buildings and equipment; Major-General Hutchinson CB chaired the AGM; Mr W. Shelford seconded the motion to approve the accounts[2]
1898 Thomas H. How is secretary. [3]

1900 Three directors (Hutchinson, Shelford and Ingham) resigned[5]; presumably it was at this point that the successor Empire Roller Bearings Co was incorporated.
