Lipe Clutch History
The Lipe Clutch brand has a rich heritage dating all the way back to the late 19th century. The brand’s namesake, Charles E. Lipe, was a graduate mechanical engineer and prolific inventor. In 1880 he set up the Lipe Shop in the city of Syracuse, USA, as the manufacturing base for his inventions. Amongst the inventions of Charles Lipe was the earliest production version of the bicycle gear, which was then redeveloped for the automobile and used in many early cars including the Ford Model A. The automotive transmission expertise ultimately lead to the establishment of the commercial vehicle clutch division of Lipe in 1932.
