Lowe-Willard-Fowler XNBS-2 → L-W-F NBS-2 – L-W-F ceased to be Lowe, Willard & Fowler Engineering Company in 1917 when the company was re-named L-W-F Engineering Company, well before the NBS-2 was a twinkle in the designer's eye! (L-W-F stood for Laminated-Wood-Fuselage not Lowe, Willard & Fowler or Lowe-Willard-Fowler) see [1] Petebutt ( talk) 01:21, 12 February 2020 (UTC)
@ Petebutt: the source you provided states:
Company initials were those of the founders and not, as often thought, from "Linen, Wood, and Fabric" or "Laminated Wood Fuselage".
Also, some WP articles use "LWF", without the dashes, while some have "L-W-F". A quick Google search seems to show both in use while some sites also use dots; "L.W.F." (though some are just mirrors and other may be referring to different companies altogether). Do you, or anyone else here, know for certain which variant is correct?
