Rotax Motor Accessories Co Ltd

These Rotax period advertisements show not only the early product ranges but also a series of name changes; in 1908 the company was known as the Rotax Motor Co, by 1913 their advertising showed them as Rotax Motor Accessories Co; and by 1917 they had become a limited company which is shown in the advert for 1919. In 1926 they were bought out by Joseph Lucas Ltd who also purchased C. A. Vandervell Co Ltd at the same time. There are a lot of advertising and product gaps so any help in filling these would be most appreciated.

There are two adverts of particular interest; advert for 1920 shows an interesting illustration of 'The Car of the Future', and the 1922 advert introduced the charming company mascot 'Miss Rotax'.
