Bob:
They were once the same company, and made both motorcycles and
automobiles. But the depression
was hard on Triumph and in 1936 management decided to split the company
into two separate independent
companies, one for cars, the other for motorcycles.

My wife asked me a question I couldn't answer. Were Triumph motorcycles
"owned" by the same company that built the Triumph line of cars, or did
they just share a common name?
Thanks
