John and Gerd,

Fascinating history and diesel-link. You two have a wealth of information/history!

Packard-Cummins design similarities make sense. Back then every innovative mechanic was improving someone else's creation.

Didn't J W Packard himself get in the car business after insulting Winton(?) with a long list of suggested improvements for for the 'Winton' buggy?
I believe Winton's response was along the lines of, "If you think you can make a better car, go right ahead."

John, you've retold most of this history before:https://packardinfo.com/xoops/html/modules/newbb/viewtopic.php?topic_id=967&forum=4&post_id=7249#forumpost7249
