dred machinery, and became known as a virtual service
station for all sorts of repair parts for the munition factories
in the Pittsburgh district. The company is now engaged
in manufacturing gears for new equipment as well as repairs
for a great variety of industries, a few of which are manu-
facturers of the following: Coal mine equipment, furnaces,
ete., steel mill machinery, bottling and canning machinery,
amusement park machinery, truck and tractor attachments,
iron and steel products, food products, sanitary ware and
pumps.
In keeping with the development of this art, the company
has taken on the manufacture and sale of Fabroil and Tex-
tolite gears. These are quality products known as silent or
noiseless gearing. The raw materials were developed and
are manufactured by the General Electric Company and
the finished gears are made in the plant of the gear com-
pany. Through their facilities for rendering service, the
company has built up quite a business in this branch of their
activities.
The company has also taken on the sale of chain drives,
which is a sort of companion business to that of gears.
They act as distributors for the Whitney Manufacturing
Company of Hartford, Conn., one of the oldest and most
reliable silent type chain manufacturers in the world. The
sprockets are manufactured in the gear company’s plant
and complete drives designed and furnished to meet all re-
juirements. Here, again, their excellent facilities for ren-
dering service have been instrumental in developing a grow-
ing volume of business.
The policies of the company in rendering service to its
customers, the handling only of quality products of their
respective kinds, and the development of a thoroughly
trained and efficient organization to carry out the policies
of the management give promise of a prosperous future.
