I am guessing that the dates are the hiring of Loewy, the formation of the design team and the rental of the "design house". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good thoughts, however those are not the events which happened on the listed dates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The other dates are likely the beginning and end of the design phase. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
