Detroit has always been interested in electronics, much more so than
others...Bendix electro-pulse...with Chrylser,  wouldn't run long, rushed into
production too soon,  based on current tech of times....Germanium
transistors....bad stability...no good..in time...
worked for a few months, then was too unstable to get reliability...

GM gave Bendix in Newport News Va.  some Caddy engines to work with,  
around the earliest 70's...and the result was that analogue early proprietary
silicon chip based system on the Sevilles mostly and a very few other caddys....

that was a good system, but the technology is outdated now and parts are
NLA...but it's only been 25 years....:-)))

so then the advent of modern computer chips...the rest is history....

Now where do the germans fit into this early work.....OH yeh the old mechanical
type   sort of like that old Rochester on the vettes...

the Datsuns had some systems out in the late 70's   similar to the caddy system
as I recall...been a while since I worked with one of them....
