My guess is that at the turn of the century the best light system on the market for your bicycle was a company called PHOEBUS. The generator and the light were Swiss made. These were high quality and were embossed with the name PHOEBUS. So why not name your bike Mr. Phoebus if you were the only one on the block that owned one..Cheers

Who were Edward Elgar's parents?

In 1841 William moved to Worcester, where he worked as a piano tuner and set up a shop selling sheet music and musical instruments. In 1848 he married Ann Greening (1822-1902), daughter of a farm worker. Edward was the fourth of their seven children.

At a young age he was apprenticed to a London music publisher.
