In April, 1951, plaintiff brought an action for damages against Austin Trailer Equipment Company, a Michigan corporation (hereinafter referred to as Austin), and Callahan Engineering Company, a copartnership, alleging a sale by defendants of a defective Austin “fifth wheel” to plaintiff in January, 1949, and that it broke on a public highway in Arizona in June, 1950, causing injury to plaintiff. In its answer Callahan admitted its partnership status, with its principal place of business in Los Angeles. It denied, however, the sale and the further allegation that it was the agent of Austin.
