| Mr Barrington 24/10/12 CJ17/D241012 The Packard people bought one of our cars and have had it to pieces and examined it and are copying it as regards certain parts. For instance, they are casting their cylinders in blocks of three and they have taken the auxiliary oiling system exactly as we have it. This is my latest information. Have we any patent in America which could prevent this? C.J. X435- | ||
