Talk:Petters Limited

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Does anyone know anything about really early Petter engines? The first engine I know anything about is the first handyman... -Joey-

[edit] Petter vs. Petters

Does anyone have definative proof of what the name of the company was? I have a book on engines that repetedly refers to them as 'Petter Limited' however on several websites the name is 'Petters Limited'.
Thanks,

I made the change because I have a copy of a catalogue issued by the company (for whom my grandfather worked), which I reference in the article. I also have other corporate ephemera. Percy Petter (who founded the company) and AH Lukins (who was commissioned by WEstland) call the company Petters in their books. --Theo (Talk) 06:22, 5 Jun 2005 (UTC)

As a resident of Egham Hythe I've always known the company as Petters.
