My Cooter's History Blog has become about 80% World War II anyway, so I figured to start a blog specific to it, especially since we're commemorating its 70th anniversary and we are quickly losing this "Greatest Generation." The quote is taken from Pearl Harbor survivor Frank Curre, who was on the USS Tennessee that day. He died Dec. 7, 2011, seventy years to the day. His photo is below at right.

Ideal Commutator Dresser Company-- Part 1: What They Make
In the last post I mentioned the name of this company. I had no idea what they made or did, so had to look it up and I found an article about it in good ol' Wikipedia.
From Wikipedia Ideal Industries
An American company that today produces connectors, hand tools, testers and meters for electrical and telecommunications industries.
The company makes many of its products in the United States. It also owns Western Forge and Pratt-Read, the largest and second-largest American-made producers of screwdrivers at the time of their acquisitions. Its tools are sold at Lowe's and Ace Hardware stores as well as many independent distributors.
Oh, They Make Those. --GreGen
