We all know the little patent plate attached to all Austin Seven dashboards- in the new book by David Morgan 'Immortal Austin Seven', he makes an interesting comment on page 35 that apparently Herbert Austin received one pound for each patent in every car, starting with 16 patents.
I have not seen this mentioned before but it seems a very large amount, far exceeding the two guineas ? per car usually quoted.

Cheers, Tony.
