The 'A'ssociated 'E'quipment 'C'ompany Ltd evolved from the merger in 1908 of the London Motor Omnibus Co Ltd, which ran its 'Vanguard' buses on services in the capital from premises in Walthamstow, and the mighty London General Omnibus Co Ltd. The LGOC built bus chassis to its own design at Walthamstow and when the LGOC was taken over by the Underground Electric Railways Co of London Ltd in 1912 the chassis-building activities were separated off to form the A.E.C.
35 photos in this collection illustrate the various AEC models produced before the company moved to Southall in 1926.
