Automobile

Das Unternehmen stellte Elektroautos her. Das erste Fahrzeug war ein Dreirad mit einem einzelnen Vorderrad. Der Elektromotor mit 0,5 PS Leistung kam von Acme & Immisch Electrical Works. Der Motor trieb über eine Kette die Hinterachse an. Job Pack von den Sussex Coach Works fertigte die Karosserie aus Walnussholz. Die offene Karosserie bot Platz für vier Personen in Dos-à-dos-Anordnung. Die Höchstgeschwindigkeit war mit 15 km/h angegeben.

1895 entstand ein Fahrzeug für den Sultan Abdülhamid II. Dieses Fahrzeug hatte eine vordere Schmalspur. Der Motor kam erneut von Acme & Immisch und leistete diesmal 1 PS.
