There seems to be very little information around on this once-famous auto-electrical company. I believe they were in Aston. Does anyone know whereabouts.
I heard that they were taken over by Lucas - is ths true ?

Welcome Alan--havnt heard from you for awhile!
Miller Electrical where in Aston Brook St at the opposite end to Sun & Norton.
I have just acquired two of their catalogues.
In my small museum here I have several examples of their later cycle and motor lamps.
I am not sure whether they were taken over by Lucas but would be interested to find out more about this important Birmingham company

| I had a Miller dynamo on my bike - not much light, but utterly reliable. |
