Don't be fooled into thinking CAT are all built in the US or Cummins or lots of others.
CAT build all over the world as is eg. Cummins (building in China)
These are multifaceted organizations

Good reading

There's a good biography -- I think actually it is an autobiography - of Mr. Cummins. He was an interesting fellow ... stuck one of his engines in a Locomobile & drove it to the New York auto show in the dead of winter ... with no heater hooked up.

It's a good read if your library has it, or can get it with the intrastate system. I read it in Sarasota, so any of youse Florida guys can get it.
