Burman and Sons Ltd, of Ryland Road, Birmingham, West Midlands, manufactured Burman-Douglas steering gear.[1]

Their recirculating worm and ball design of steering gear was fitted to pre-war vehicles such as the Ford Eight and the Ford Prefect,[1] the Bedford CA, plus many other vehicles - both pre and post-war. In its day, Burman-Douglas steering-gear was regarded as...

... a "quality" feature of a car chassis specification,[1]

but the worm and ball design was eventually bettered by the rack and pinion design, which was more precise and which dominates today.

The company also manufactured motorcycle gearboxes during part of its history.[2]
