Prompt Response from Abu Garcia, but no Closer to Answers

I got a reply from Abu Garcia as follows: 

Dear Doug,
 
Thank you for contacting Abu Garcia regarding the history of the spincast reels.
I have been looking through our archived info, but our records go back only so far and I have not been able to find any patent-sharing or collaboration in the design of vintage spin-casting reels made by Johnson and those made by Abu Garcia.
 
Unfortunately the folks who were involved with the design of the early Abumatics are no longer with the company. Your best bet for finding this type of information regarding the early Abumatics and Johnson spincast reels would be by doing a search on line.
 
 
Sincerely,
 
Nissa Lundquist

And another.

The link provided is apparently no longer live. No server can be found, at least not by my browsers. I'll keep looking.
