Why does Lucas have such a bad reputation? There's a story that Joseph
Lucas decided that HE would determine how long his products should
last, and
had his engineers design them so that they would last just that long....
==AM==
I suppose there could be some truth to what sounds to be a bit of a
legend. But then, Joseph Lucas himself died around 1902, so I doubt he
had much personal influence on the design or durability of most of
Lucas's automotive components! ;-)

Triumph Herald engine with wings.
