Is this the Bendix company from South Bend that also made washing machines and brakes and even a motorcar that looked a lot like the Chrysler Airflow? I was talking to a couple rental car employees who were ferrying me from the airport and they told me that when the company closed up shop in South Bend and moved to the South the employees stuffed their paystubs into the walls & floors of the trucks as they loaded them. The lower-paid Bendix employees in the South found them as they unloaded the trucks. The rental car guys said the company was not pleased. Too bad. :-)
