As that article no doubt says Alex Moulton, inventor of the aforesaid small wheel bike, gave his family name. He also devised the rubber cone suspension on the Mini which pre-dated and eventually replaced Hydrolastic.
There's quite a complex genealogy for the bikes/models but the early ones are now eminently collectable. They turn up on the Folding Society's Origami Rides from time to time and there's an annual Moulton shindig every September in, I think, Bradford on Avon.
