Thumbs up Hurst/Scheifer Flywheel Products

Does anyone have any literature that identifies the timeline when Hurst began to sell Schiefer products, specifically the aluminum Schiefer flywheels?

Thanks !

Scheifer called it their "Albro." Hurst bought them sometime during the 1960s. Can't seem to nail the date down.

I think it was the late 60's early 70's when Hurst purchased the company and made it part of their product line. Not 100% sure of the exact date.

Does anyone know the date/year when Hurst acquired the Schiefer company and made it part of their product line?

Thanks

Looks like Hurst moved Schiefer's manufacturing plant from CA to PA in 1970.

Sorry but any Hurst talk has to include some Linda too!
