Where was Sir Harry Ricardo born?
Harry Ricardo
In 1909 Ricardo designed a two-stroke 3.3-litre engine, for his cousin Ralph Ricardo, who had established a small car manufacturing company, "Two Stroke Engine Company", at Shoreham-by-Sea. The engine was to be used in the Dolphin car.[5] The cars were well made, but it became apparent that they cost more to make than the selling price. The company fared better making two-stroke engines for fishing boats. In 1911 the firm collapsed and Ralph departed for India. Ricardo continued to design engines for small electric lighting sets; these were produced by two companies until 1914.[4]
