I am in touch with John Wolkonowicz, and I'll give him yor e-mail address. He starts the dissertation with the Helios Corp. in the late 1800s, and progresses to Philco up to the Ford takeover. I don't know where my copy is (along with almost everything else), but I believe that he touched on the auto sets only lightly, if at all.

John lives in Worcester, Mass.
