Vickers

— Wikipedia page
Vickers Limited was a British engineering conglomerate.
In 1901 it purchased Herbert Austin's embryonic car manufacturing plans, and Austin himself. The new business was incorporated and named The Wolseley Tool and Motor Car Company.
In 1919, the British Westinghouse electrical company was taken over as the Metropolitan-Vickers Electrical Company, its name often shortened to Metrovick.
Wolseley was sold to William Morris in 1926 and he retained it as his personal property.
Financial problems following the death of the Vickers brothers were resolved in 1927 by separating Metropolitan Carriage Wagon and Finance Company and Metropolitan-Vickers, then merging the remaining bulk of the original business with Armstrong-Whitworth to form Vickers-Armstrongs. The Vickers name resurfaced as Vickers plc between 1977 and 1999. It was purchased by Rolls-Royce in 1999, and the Vickers company name became defunct in 2003 as Rolls renamed the company Vinters Engineering.
