Company Name

[edit]

I have corrected the name to "The Siddeley-Deasy Motor Car Company Limited". This is the exact wording used in the minutes of the Extraordinary General Meetings on 7 November and 2 December 1912 which appear on pages 245 and 243 of the company minute book and believed to be the first written occurence of the name. There is no such word as Motorcar.

Also I have removed H.H.P. Deasy's name from the key people in the infobox. Captain Deasy was elected Chairman of the original Deasy company on 12 March 1906. He resigned the Chair in May 1907 and as a director in the following March. There are no further references to his name in the minute book hence no involvement with the Siddeley-Deasy Company. He is believed to have emigrated to Canada in 1912.
