Re the comment on Perkins / Cat relationship:

Do an internet search on "Perkins Caterpillar". You should come up with a Reuters article on DieselNet dated 11 Dec, 1997 showing that Cat bought Perkins from Varity for $1.3 billion.

I understand why they would maintain separate distribution channels.
