[James Peck]

Cecil Bearden AT list member, Oklahoma farmer, and Professional Engineer <crbearden at copper.net>; White has certainly been the kiss of death for anything it gets into..

Tom A AT List Member <toma at risingnet.net>: The White Oliver alliance actually goes back a lot further. Rollin White organized Cletrac Corp in 1916. White was formed about 1890 by Rollin's father and had been making sewing machines and steam cars.
