Apart from tubing what other components did Reynolds make?

Every now and again I see vintage Reynolds components, usually seatposts and stems come up on Ebay and was wondering what else they made apart from their famous steel tubing, I am presuming it is the same company but cannot find anything about them with a search, can anyone help satisfy my curiosity?
 
Many years ago I had some deep aluminium bars with Reynolds (or perhaps Renolds? It was a VERY long time ago!) markings but, TBH, I can't say with any certainty if this is the tubing company.
 
A quote from Wiki
"In 1934 the Reynolds Tube Co. began production of extruded structural components for airframes, using R.R.56 alloy supplied by High Duty Alloys. A new purpose-built plant was constructed at their works in Tyseley, Birmingham.[12] In time, the post-war Reynolds company, already known for its steel bicycle frame tubes, would attempt to survive in the peacetime market by supplying Hiduminium alloy components for high-end aluminium bicycle cranks and brakes."
