Just to update:

The Allison aircraft engine plants were renamed Roll-Royce Corporation years ago after a transition period as Rolls-Royce Allison.
The automotive transmission business goes as Allison Transmission, which was sold to private equity firms last year.

GM has no ownership in either now.

I just finished a long project at one Rolls-Royce plant in Indy, and the non-union engineering people I worked with there were generally staunchly conservative.
