{{u|North8000}} reverted [https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Programmable_logic_controller&type=revision&diff=872987430&oldid=872176984 this change] where I try to clarify what "Rockwell (Allen-Bradley)" means. The edit comment on the revert was "Confusing and possibly misleading. They Allen Bradley became prominent and leading in PLC's when it was not Rockwell." I have reverted that revert. What the ref says about Rockwell is, "Also involved was Odo Struger of Allen-Bradley, now Rockwell Automation. Rockwell became the PLC leader in the US through good marketing and development of strong distribution channels...". I think my version is more true to the ref. The original version has the problematic "Rockwell (Allen-Bradley)" phrase and also I think it is further from what North8000 claims happened than my version. I'm sure what I put up there can be improved further but I think my contribution was an improvement on what we had originally. ~[[User:Kvng|Kvng]] ([[User talk:Kvng|talk]]) 00:56, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
:The reference made a misleading statement. AB had moved into the PLC lead prior to being Rockwell. But Wikipedia goes by sources, not wiki editor's knowledge. So I agree that the misleading statement can stay in. No biggee, and thanks for your work. <b style="color: #0000cc;">''North8000''</b> ([[User talk:North8000#top|talk]]) 11:41, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
