Interesting story about Solar. They built exhaust manifolds in WW2 and their high-temperature fabrication experience led to them being asked to make afterburners. I had never heard of any other company being a "third party" AB supplier - maybe at the time it made no less sense than putting a GE turbo on a PW or Allison engine - but in fact a quick check shows that Marquardt provided the AB design for the Orenda Iroquois.
