For considerably less you can also download copies of old patents (for free!) via-
https://gb.espacenet.com
Select the Advance Search link and enter in what details you know. British patents will be prefixed by ‘GB’.
So to look up the fork patent enter GB150944 in the Publication Number field. Or you may try Scott Motor Company in the inventor or applicant field. Or search a keyword in the Description field. Enter only ‘GB’ in the Publication Number to limit the search results to just British patents. Hours of fun.
