The "initials" mystery
The origin of the initials CCW seems to be a bit of an unknown. The company might have been founded by H.G. Cramer, (Jack Claire?), and Jack Webster (which would give CCW as initials), but this might be not be correct, and exact details of the company's origins are difficult to come by – if an original founder had contributed a letter and then left, that might explain why the full name wasn't used.
On the other hand, CCW might simply stand for "Cramer Coach Works".
