Hi John,
I didn't think it would be long before someone pointed that out.
I was in an inebriated state only referring to Triumph Motors, but in
hindsight should have included SMC.
I wonder what the date was that SMC was actually formed?
I must do some more research.
You can see how easy it is to get it worng when starting a calendar!
back to the drawing board.
