These were standard Humber front forks. Humber was just one of the post war mass manufacturers. My memory of these is from the late '40s 'til the '50s.

Here's one I haven't seen before, a Humber frame with a different fork design.  Nothing for Humber on the CR GB pages.  Archives are down, so I apologize if these were discussed before.  How long were these on the market?  Did they work, or give any advantage?
