Sources for Ingersoll?

I can't find a single reference to the existence of an Aldis factory on Ingersoll in any of the sources mentioned in this article. Is it possible that it isn't listed in Objectives: Capellan Confederation is that it never existed? Can anyone find any reference to it at all?

This is turning into quite a rabbit hole. It appears that DropShips and JumpShips erroneously assigned production of the Avenger, Excalibur, and Triumph to Andurien Industries (L). There is no such company in the Capellan Confederation.

Later sources list Rashpur-Owens Incorporated as the manufacturer, which is likely what should have been listed in DS/JS.
