The late Harry Weslake, the founder of Weslake Limited was born in Exeter in 1897. Whilst still in his early teens he became fascinated by combustion engine carburettors and registered several pioneering patents covering carburettors jointly with his father (he was too young to register them on his own). By the early 1920's he had founded his own company. His twin diffuser carburettor named the Wex (for Weslake-Exeter) was being widely used at this time by the motor cycle trials and car racing fraternity at Brooklands and elsewhere. This involvement with racing continued for fifty years. The name Weslake becoming a by-word in motor racing circles.
