[AT] 9N profitability was David Brown

There were likely  factions of Ford employees who would see Harry walking into his office space in the Rouge and be jealous.

Due to the financial details of the handshake agreement Ford realized that Ferguson was making more money on each N series tractor than they were. In fact The N Series was possibly not profitable at all for Ford any more. Ford needed to get that corrected. <snip>
