 TWN slightly predates English Triumph , both as I understand it started by Sigfriend Bettman as bicycle companies, not sure exactly when he sold either of them . The TWN was a well built motorbike .

 OK , Triumph Coventry predates TWN

Cool..from Wikipedia

“ Triumph-Werke Nürnberg AG or TWN, was a German bicycle and motorcycle company. In 1886, Siegfried Bettmann founded the Triumph bicycle factory in Coventry, England, and in 1896 he founded a second bicycle factory in his native Nuremberg, Germany, under the same Triumph name. Both factories branched out into making motorcycles: the Coventry factory in 1902 and the Nuremberg factory in 1903.[2]”

Also the Cornet was a split single
