Rheem was the Platt-LePage PL-15 design.
Haviland Platt had ties to Rheem that continued beyond the closing of Platt-LePage Aircraft.

[Platt-LePage Aircraft]

It would be more accurate to refer the project as Rheem / Platt, as Platt-LePage had ended as a corporate entity by August 1946.
Haviland Platt retained the rights to the Tilt-Rotor engineering following the closure of Platt-LePage Aircraft, and would collaborate with Rheem, as a consultant for some time.
Rheem used the engineering already carried out by PL-LP.
