J.), which produce radial, air-cooled engines, and General Motors Corp.'s Allison Engineering Co. (Indianapolis), which is just getting into production on liquid-cooled inline motors.

For Pratt & Whitney and Wright had finished their expansions for wartime business, were operating at no more than...
