1 - If you have contact info I would do that in less than a heartbeat! I worked for the same parent company buty 60 years apart. I always loved to hear the old timers stories from back in the day when IH made their own bearings on refrigerators! I've never had the rare pleasure to talk with an IH CC designer.

2 - I guess I'm sorry I asked? I suppose it doesn't make any difference NOW but I like knowing that the SBC started in 1955 too despite the fact that I own several later models (and the original prototype is owned by LPE... a 30 minute drive from me.. Why do I know that? Why do I care?... I'm starting to think this type of thread is better left in my mind).l
