Ultramatic FAQ

In the FAQ it states that the Ultramatic was developed completely in house. I beg to differ.

Last Friday I drove my '54 Clipper to work and that prompted my friend, Steve, to come up to talk to me about it. During our conversation he told me he was doing his apprenticeship at a place in Oconto(?), WI and that they were working on the Ultramatic. He told me the guy's name that he was working for but I was lazy and didn't write it down. :facepalm:

Another tidbit he said was that this company he was working for went out of business before his apprenticeship was over so he lost out there. And that the guy he was working for ended up working for GM.

I'll try to get as many details as I can when I see him this Friday.
