Best Answer

In 1892, F W Rushbrooke established Halfords due to his brother G. (Gordon)Rushbrooke's original idea for the pump mechanism. Origionally designed when cleaning an exhaust pipe and realised the air pressure could be forced along a cylinder into a confined space or area, such as a bicyle tyre. The mechanism was portable and unique and proved to be revelutionary to the Halfords company years later.
