message: In the text it says "In 1992 Carbodies Limited changed its name to LTI Limited." in the infobox it says 1984. Which is correct? Eddaido (talk) 00:46, 8 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: The prose is referenced to the company number, so I changed the infobox to 1992. -- DeFacto (talk). 18:50, 8 January 2018 (UTC)

message: Please check this. In 1984 Manganese Bronze also bought Mann and Overton, co-designer of the first Carbodies taxi. M&O provided many more services than wholesaling and retailing taxis. MB put them all into one 'division' and, now freshly permitted by law, they were promoted and traded together under the one trading name London Taxis International - not a legal entity. I think this, 1984, is the time of sea change when a new article  about LTI should start. The Carbodies article remains and continues into the 1990s. I haven't re-read what I wrote about M&O.  can you verify this? Eddaido (talk) 20:00, 9 January 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: That's what I'm asking you for. If you disagree can you show the opposite holds true? Eddaido (talk) 20:49, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: All we are certain about is the dates the companies' registered names were changed. I don't have any understanding of how trading names work or whether they were a new thing with the Business Names Act 1985, or just differently regulated. What I do know is that with company names comprising standard and extremely common words - e.g. Carbodies (car bodies), London, taxi, company, international, etc. - and the use of a variety of similar trading names and variations and abbreviations of them, it is very difficult to find appropriate reference material and to string together the naming and structures. -- DeFacto (talk). 21:10, 9 January 2018 (UTC)
