Most of "McCauley propeller legacy" section belongs in the company article, instead.

Most of text in the "McCauley propeller legacy" section refers to developments occurring after Mr. McCauley's death in 1969. Those items, at least, belong in the company article McCauley Propeller Systems, instead. It is misleading to list them in this article about Mr. McCauley, as it gives the impression that they were his inventions -- which, judging from careful scrutiny of the dates given, they were not. Mr. McCauley's legacy is significant enough without adding in the developments of others.
