Cotton

The Cotton automobile was designed by Alfred John Cotton from Brisbane, Queensland in 1909 for Australian conditions (but built in Scotland).  Alfred Cotton took out a Patent on 24 November 1909 for "Means for utilizing the engines of motor cars for imparting power for useful purposes".

Alfred John Cotton's son, (Fredrick) Sidney Cotton, built a cyclecar - see Cotton Cyclecar post.
