Westminster
Relative to London, the distinctions of which themselves get peculiar, some patent data have Westminster situated within "London, S.W.".[1], some have it within the County of London, with no otherwise mention of London[2], and we also have the "City of Westminster".[3] We have British Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Co. addressed at 2 Norfolk St, Strand, "City of Westminster", with patent agent F. W. Le Tall having the same address, though phrased as "London, W.C.", leading us to see "London, W.C." as equaling or including "City of Westminster"[4]
Patent GB-1915-16787 has "Grafton House, Golden Square, in the County of London", with Golden Square identified secondarily as located in Westminster.
The precise administrative and formal aspects of all this change over time. We are taking them into account, in the interests of pointed data flow, and relative to the less officially formal factors of geographic proximity as pertaining to phenomena of social networks.
