From Wikipedia: "Douglas was a British motorcycle manufacturer from 1907–1957 based in Kingswood, Bristol, owned by the Douglas family, and especially known for its horizontally opposed twin cylinder engined bikes and as manufacturers of speedway machines. In 1935 they were taken over by BAC, Bond Aircraft and Engineering Company.
"Motorcycle production continued into World War II and was extended to generators. In 1948 Douglas was in difficulty again and reduced its output to the 350 cc flat twin models. In 1955, 350 cc Douglas Dragonfly was the last model produced; a flat-twin with chain rear drive. The Westinghouse Brake and Signal Company Ltd bought Douglas out and production of Douglas Motorcycles ended in 1957.
Douglas continued to import Vespa scooters into the UK and later imported and assembled Gilera motorcycles."
