Brief History of the Marque: Beardmore Precision
Beardmore was once a very large British firm which built not only motorcycles
but also cars, aeroplanes, locomotives and ships. F.E. Baker's Precision
motorcycles had their own engines of 247, 347, 498 and 596cc. There was
also a model with a Barr & Stroud engine, and an OHC model which did
not see production. After Beardmore ceased manufacture of the Precision
range, Frank Baker went on to establish his own company producing Villiers-powered
machines. The company was eventually sold to James
in 1930.

Beardmore precision information
I am writing on behalf of the Great Nephew of F E Baker who would be
very interested in any information about his Great Uncle's motorcycles.
He has a few memories butis now in his 80's and would love to see one again!
