In 1934, Wal Philips designed his very own engine, the "Phillips Whirlwind". Only two of these engines were ever built at the Blackburne Factory in Bookham, Surrey and were mounted in a Rudge Frame.
This is a lightweight motor bicycle of the form patented by C. G. Pullin and S. L. Groom in 1920. It has a two-stroke engine, a pressed-steel frame and front forks, with front- and rear-wheel spring suspension, and chain drive through a 2-speed gearbox. The machine was completely renovated by C. G. Pullin, Esq. in 1953.
