HISTORY The company was formed in 1916 as a subsidiary of the wordworking firm R. Cattle Limited. In common with other joinery companies during the First World War it turned to sub-contract manufacturing of aircraft components. In 1919 shortly after the end of the war the company produced two original designs, the '''Centaur IV''' and '''Centaur IIA'''. The aircraft were built at the company works at Kilburn , London . The first aircraft were flown from a field next to the factory, but later aircraft were test flown and operated from Northolt Aerodrome . Unable to sell the aircraft the company used the Centaur IV for joyriding and training. The last aircraft produced was the '''Sayers Monoplane''' built for the 1922 Itford Hill gliding competition. The company closed in May 1926 . AIRCRAFT DESIGNS REFERENCES
