Talk:Harry Ricardo

message: According to the book Memories and Machines: The Pattern of My Life by Sir Harry Ricardo F.R.S., Page 192: "...the company was registered under the title of 'Engine Patents Ltd.', with Campbell Swinton as its first Chairman in July 1917." Not 1915 as stated in this article. Rupertlt (talk) 12:58, 25 January 2010 (UTC)

message: The contributors to the article certainly seem to be correct but I don't think that any of them actually met Sir Harry. (I did, and have made several corrections to this article.  I worked at Ricardo for 42 years. DavidPaygate (talk) 11:01, 7 December 2016 (UTC)

message: Several points are mentioned in Harry Ricardo#Ricardo Consulting which are not included in Ricardo plc, which is the present name of that company.  Probably they should be added to it, or if not, perhaps this section should be rewritten. Enginear (talk) 06:04, 31 October 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Some points in the ''Ricardo Consulting'' section are not mentioned in the main [[Ricardo plc]] article 

message: The organisation has had several names in its time: initially Engine Patents Ltd, I am fairly sure it then became Ricardo Consulting Engineers, and was I believe still called that at the time of Ricardo's death.  Later, it may have become Ricardo Consulting, though I'm not certain.  Now it is Ricardo plc.
Since this is an article about Ricardo himself, it seems illogical to call the section by a name which the company was not known by in his lifetime, and is not known by now.  If my memory is correct, then either Engine Patents Ltd or Ricardo Consulting Engineers would seem appropriate instead.  However, I am not fully certain of my facts, so have not changed it.

thread_title:  Is [[Harry Ricardo#Ricardo Consulting|Ricardo Consulting]] the best name for that section?
