Garrett AiResearch
Garrett AiResearch was a manufacturer of turboprop engines and turbochargers, and a pioneer in numerous aerospace technologies. It was previously known as Aircraft Tool and Supply Company, Garrett Supply Company, AiResearch Manufacturing Company, or simply AiResearch. In 1964, Garrett AiResearch merged with Signal Oil & Gas to form a company renamed in 1968 to Signal Companies, which in 1985 merged with Allied Corp. into AlliedSignal. In 1999 AlliedSignal acquired Honeywell and adopted the Honeywell name.
==Founding years==
John Clifford "Cliff" Garrett founded a company in Los Angeles in 1936 which came to be known as Garrett AiResearch or simply AiResearch.〔See "Built on Thin Air," ''Time Magazine'', November 16, 1962, retrieved at http://www.time.com/time/magazine/article/0,9171,829434,00.html. The company was first named Aircraft Tool and Supply Company, then by early 1937 was renamed as Garrett Supply Company, and by 1939, AiResearch and shortly thereafter AiResearch Manufacturing Company, which then became a division within the Garrett Corporation. See Seymour L. Chapin, "Garrett and Pressurized Flight: A Business Built on Thin Air," ''Pacific Historical Review'' 35 (August 1966): 329-343; and William A. Schoneberger and Robert R. H. Scholl, ''Out of Thin Air: Garrett's First 50 Years'', Phoenix: Garrett Corporation, 1985 (ISBN 0-9617029-0-7).〕 Already operating his Garrett Supply and Airsupply businesses, in 1939 Cliff Garrett established a small research laboratory to conduct "air research" on the development of pressurized flight for passenger aircraft.〔Garrett AiResearch "AiReporter," October 1969, p. 3.〕 "() first 'lab' was a small store building on Melrose Avenue in Los Angeles".〔AiReporter, cited previously.〕
In 1939 Garrett incorporated the "Garrett Corporation" and the three operating companies became divisions: Airsupply Division, Garrett Supply Division, and AiResearch Manufacturing Division. Needing additional space, they built their own manufacturing facility in Glendale, California, and thereby established the name AiResearch Manufacturing Company.
By 1941, AiResearch needed new space, and on April 28, 1941 moved from Glendale to what until then had been a beanfield on Sepulveda Boulevard, at the corner of Century Boulevard near Mines Field, which later became Los Angeles Airport.〔This facilility remained open until 1990, when operations were consolidated at previous facilities in Torrance, California. "Relocations from Sepulveda Facility," "Spectrum," Allied Signal, December 1990.〕 In 1942, the Army Air Force concluded that vital cabin pressurization manufacturing facilities should be relocated inland from the coast, and AiResearch set up the AiResearch Phoenix Division in Phoenix, Arizona.〔 For this purpose, AiResearch Manufacturing Company of Arizona was established as a wholly owned subsidiary.〔Schoneberger and Scholl, cited previously, p. 67.〕
