...South Bend plant Bendix makes brakes for Ford, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, Lincoln, Packard, Hudson, Nash, Cord, Auburn; carburetors for Ford, Nash, General Motors, Hudson, Chrysler, Plymouth, Studebaker; other parts for many another U. S. automobile. Last week Bendix could supply none of these customers. Two U. S.
