You're pretty much correct... a bit of googling reveals all. The common name was a hangover from the Triumph Cycle Co (originally a bicycle manufacturer) which also moved into motorcycles at some point. They bought the Dawson Car Company in the early 1920's, which produced cars under the Triumph name until it was renamed the Triumph Motor Co in 1930. Triumph Cycle Co was sold off in 1936, and subsequently renamed Triumph Engineering Co. IIRC BSA acquired it around 1951. Standard Motors never owned the motorcycle manufacturer. Triumph Motor Co eventually went into receivership and was sold in 1939. Standard Motors acquired it in 1944, Standard Triumph was formed in 1945. Triumph Cycle Co had purchased the original car manufacturer, which always operated as a separate entity AFAIK. Triumph Engineering Co (the motorcycle manufacturer since 1936) never had anything to do with cars. -- John H
