Hello all, just came across a bit of interesting history. I was looking through "The Swap Meet" and saw a listing for original seamed fuel line. Being from the Motor City, I knew about "Bundy Tube" an early form of steel tubing that was manufactured by rolling thin steel sheet to form a double walled tube which was then soldered to seal the lapped seam... hence the "seamed tube". I did a search on Bundy Tube and came up with the history of the Bundy Corporation, still here in Detroit. Started by Harry Bundy in 1922. His first big contract was for Ford for the Model T (fuel line, I would guess)
Very interesting industrial/automotive history here...
