The factory expanded quickly, before cheaper imported electrical components forced Royce to rethink where the firm’s future may lie just after the turn of the century.īut, for as long as they lasted, all of FH Royce’s electrical wares were designed by the man himself – and, needless to say, if components like motors and dynamos aren’t smooth-spinning and perfectly balanced, they simply don’t work.
