Well, there's the name Thompson, as in Auto Ordnance, makers of the famous "Tommy" gun. I don't know of their relationship to bicycles.

Then, there's Thompson, later to be known as Thompson, Ramo & Woolridge (TRW), makers of highly prized M-14 and M1A rifle components for the US Government. One thing they did, through their Automotive Division, was to fund development of several innovative bicycle technologies. I remember seeing several different propulsion systems for bicycles on display with their inventors available for discussions. An example of one was a pump crank rather than a rotating crank.

Then again, there's Thompson, as in Thompson Bearings, whose logo is a planetary gear (internally geared hub) and whose motto is "If it moves, shakes, rattles or rolls, we make it". Anyone with cartridge bearings in their bikes probably has some of these.

I'm sure there are others, too.
