The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.

Ideal Commutator Dresser Co.-- Part 2: Moved to Sycamore in 1924
Ideal Industries was founded in 1916 by J. Walter Becker as the Ideal Commutator Dresser Company in Chicago, Illinois, manufacturing commutator dresser stones. In 1924, he relocated the company to where it is now in Sycamore, Illinois.
By 1949, it had become the leading producer of wire nuts in the United States.
The Merriam-Webster dictionary says a commutator is a series of bars or segments connected to the armature coils of a generator or motor so that the rotation of the arm will in conjunction with a set of fixed brushes convert alternating current to direct current.
I still don't know what this is.
