Acquisition history

[edit]

The following is an illustration of the company's major mergers and acquisitions and historical predecessors (this is not a comprehensive list). Please note that time runs from right to left; that is, historical predecessor companies appear on the right hand side, and more recent transactions appear as you move towards the left hand side:

(Butting in) I can't help thinking that time left-to-right would be more sensible (for left-to-right languages). It took a while to realize I needed to start from upper-right. (What do other merger-trees look like?) ((Other tools might be needed to prepare.)) -A876 (talk) 02:05, 28 March 2016 (UTC)
yeah that would be great A876 but as I wrote at WT:Companies I don't know how to flip it. I didn't develop the markup. I first saw it on the JPMorgan&Chase article and could see how else we could use it. I don't m know how to flip it, but if you do I'm more than happy to Change each one.
