1919 Harper Bean was formed as a public company to bring together a number of interests in car manufacturing, including all of the shares in Rushmores (1919) Ltd[4].
1921 Inefficiencies in the way that Harper Bean organised its affairs meant that Rushmores were starved of orders, so stock had to be liquidated but it was hoped to use the foundry for automotive components. Jigs Ltd, which had been a design company without works, was now installed at Rushmores[5].
