Hmm, interesting there, Alfred...
Of course we both ment "P/S pump designed by Vickers company, manufactured
in whatever country in whatever factory the company chose to establish
(like Bosch parts made in Spain or France....)
Well, I had the idea in my mind the Vickers company in question was the one in the UK
"Vickers Ltd - The company that grew into the famous engineering and armaments companies
of Vickers and Vickers-Armstrongs was started in 1829 by Edward Vickers, a miller of Mill Sands, Sheffield"
But, as I now checked facts, it turns out this "Vickers" company is
American :
"
Vickers Hydraulic Pumps Harry Franklin Vickers (1898 - 1977) U.S. was an American inventor and industrialist recognized by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as the "Father of Industrial Hydraulics". Vickers mechanical ability in combination with his electronic and engineering training formed the basis for his ability to invent, test and manufacture his early Vickers hydraulic pumps, which included the first hydraulic power steering system. He went on to invent numerous key components.
Vickers hydraulic Values and pumps were fundamental to the rapid growth of the hydraulic industry, including his most famous innovation, the balanced Vickers vane hydraulic pump. Vickers Inc. grew steadily, eventually moving its headquarters to Detroit to be closer to its major automotive and industrial customers"
Never cease to learn... this is truly great
Anyway, bottom line is "fractional size hardware in pump body due to US design"
