US, 1902 – 1909

(1) Northern Mfg Co, Detroit, Mich., 1902 – 1905

(2) Northern Motor Car Co, Detroit, Mich., 1906 – 1909

The Northern car company was founded by two ex-Oldsmobile engineers, J.D. Maxwell and C.B. King. Their first and most popular Northern car was the Silent Northern, a single-cylinder two-seater runabout not unlike the Oldsmobile, but with a straight dash. These Northern cars were made under licence in Sweden as the Norden. Bonnetted, flat-twins were sold from 1904 and in 1906 King designed a 4-cylinder 18hp Northern car with air-operated brakes and clutch. In 1908 he left the Northern car company – later to make the King car – and in 1909 Northern cars merged with E.M.F.

Albion

GB, 1900 – 1913

Albion Motor Car Co Ltd, Scotstoun, Glasgow

Still active as a truck manufacturers within the Leyland Group, Albion was founded at the end of 1899 by T. Blackwood Murray and Norman Fulton, late of Arrol-Johnston and their early products were dogcarts with varnished-wood bodywork much in the Arrol-Johnston idiom, with 2-cylinder opposed-piston underfloor engines, low tension magneto ignition, and Murray’s patent governor. Wheel steering replaced the tiller in 1902, and a year later Albion began production of a 16hp vertical-twin which was made for many years, usually with solid tyres, and often with shooting-brake bodywork. ‘Cars for country houses’, especially Scottish ones, were a speciality of the house, though rather less rustic was a side-valve 5.6-litre chain-driven four introduced in 1906. This 24hp model had a seven-year production run. The last Albion passenger car was a 15hp Monobloc four with side valves in a T-head and worm drive, which sold for £475 in 1912. At the end of 1913 Albion elected to concentrade on commercial vehicles, though large shooting brakes using the 15hp engine continues to be made.
