Lack of sources

Acquisition and Mergers
Removed two lines regarding acquisition of Lear Siegler assets by URS Corporation. These references were erroneous and should be replaced by more detailed information if anyone has it.

I do know that at some point in time Lear Siegler Inc sold off Lear Siegler Services Inc. to URS Corporation. The article previously stated, in error, that all of Lear Siegler was acquired by URS. The remainder of Lear Siegler Inc remained separate, I believe until it was acquired by Lear Siegler Holdings and then Lear Siegler Diversified. But unless someone can articulate dates and specific transactions, we ought to not put the wrong acquisition information in the article. Unfortunately it has led to lawsuits being filed against the wrong entities. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 162.251.88.131 (talk) 21:42, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

LSI divisions
I worked for LSI in parts of 1972, 1973, and 1974. At that time, LSI had a number of active divisions, and I recall a marketing piece in circulation that talked about the real estate holdings in Hawaii, the automotive components and seating business, and the "Management Services Division", in which I worked. MSD was actively involved in, and trying to market and grow, aircraft maintenance, aircraft depot overhaul, and some operations role in aviation. Their area of operation was Southeast Asia when I worked for them, and they appeared to be prosperous and profitable. There must be sources for news articles of the day, giving specifics. I will have a look. Does anyone have better clues for where to look? Rainbow-five (talk) 20:01, 5 July 2017 (UTC)

Unsourced, etc.
The article (apparently based on advertising copy), asserts that Lear Sigler produced the first video terminal, in 1972. That's grossly inaccurate (given the context, it should be presented as a work of fiction). vt100.net has an example of an earlier one, from 1970. here is another source, mentioning different terminals in 1970.
