There seems to be contradicting and/or convoluted information about the early history of the partnerships that Bell was involved in. I also questions some of the sources cited in the article as potentially unreliable, ie. radiomuseum.org which has multiple contributors and the quality varies.
The following details are all from the same news article. [1]

I'll try to find other sources to clarify this history. The pre-1933 history appears to be a series of casual partnerships or solo work by Bell. It doesn't look to me like a single company that changed names. I'm leaving this here as a placeholder.
Reliable sources sometime uses "Packard Bell" or "Packard-Bell." I have also seen "Packard Bell Co." and "Packard-Bell Electronics."
The (1926) in the title is clearly wrong. I propose changing it to Packard-Bell Corporation or Packard-Bell Electronics which are names that were used (inconsistently) before the Teledyne purchase. -- mikeu talk 21:15, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
The placement of a biography infobox on the page looks out of place. Herbert Bell might be notable enough for a biography. The New York Times described him as "an important figure in the infant radio industry of the 1920s." [1] There might not be enough material to write more than just a short article. -- mikeu talk 21:46, 17 March 2019 (UTC)
