NW Washington | And Cummins engine company turned down Clessie's idea for an engine brake. The money men had kicked him out of the Cummins company earlier, but he was still obligated to give them first crack at any ideas or patents he developed. But they did not like the engine brake idea, but one of Clessie's relatives had married into the Jacobs family and now the Jacobs Engine Brake is history.
This story is from a book written by Clessie Cummins son Lyle and titled, "The Diesel Odyssey of Clessie Cummins" | |
