Correction
...the production Chevrolet 4 x 4 chassis must have used imported Timken transfer cases until McKinnon Industries tooled-up to produce a Canadian [and in my opinion] licence-built version. Note that Carmichael used the phrase 'economically work out'...costs were clearly of concern here in 1939 before the DND produced their Master Contract with McKinnon Industries Limited. Something about 'not wishing to kill the goose that layed the golden egg' at least until the egg had hatched!?
