On the matter of Rolls buying the hydromatic what they did was buy the rights to manufacture the trans for there use only. The first thing they did was to look at the drawings and decided that the tolerances were to sloppy. They then redrew the drawing to tighter tolerances. Then when they built the first ones and were testing them they found that they did not work. They then built the production trans. to the GM print.
