One for the historians - why was a 'new' company formed in 1914?  Was it to separate 'war' work - planes, armoured cars, munitions etc., - from normal car production? Creating a new company in this way (original name, but differentiated from the original by the inclusion of the year in brackets, was often used as a device to protect the original company's assets and affairs from being taken over by creditors.  Be nice to know...

Thanks
True satisfaction is the delayed fulfilment of ancient wish
