John Speight and Sons

John Speight and Sons (died 1881) was a Canadian carriage builder in Acton, Ontario established by brothers Samuel and John Speight in 1850 (joined by brother Michael in 1856).[1]

The Speight brothers were the sons of Thomas Speight, who established Thomas Speight Wagon Works in Markham, Ontario sometime after 1830.

Speight was also a trustee of the Acton Public Burying Ground. His son Joseph Albert Speight (1846-1902) took over the business after 1881 and maintained it until his death in 1902.[2][3]

gollark: It might make sense to have home lighting use lower-voltage DC instead of mains AC now, and have a big converter somewhere, to avoid every bulb having to contain expensive and in some cases unreliable and flickery conversion electronics.
