[QUOTE="Simon Dinsdale, post: 94540, member: 58"] As a note, these dates are approximate: Up until late 1949 it would have HRD on the tank and the HRD Mercury crest on top of the tank and on the head stock. During the last quarter of 1949 there was a mixture of HRD and Vincent machines been made during the name changed and anything went really. So some HRD cast engine bikes went out with Vincent on the tank and Vincent Mercury crest. From late 1949 when Vincent cast engines were introduced the tank had Vincent and the head stock had the Vincent Mercury transfer. Sometime in 1952 the Mercury crest was changed to "Vincent Engineers". Simon [/QUOTE]
