west-byGod-Pa. | most people have no idea about the history of Chessie Cummins, as creator of Cummins Motors: (1) developed the JACOBS chuck as used on millions of drills & lathes & such (2) forget the year, but he built a vehicle to set a land travel record across continental U.S. Traveled with two others. Coming down a steep mountain grade on an unimproved hi way in the Rockies, vehicle brakes failed before coming to an rail crossing with an approaching train. They managed to not get killed, continued on their way, but it was the genesis of Chessie developing the JAKE brake system. | |
