In 1925, after 20 years of growth and prosperity, Clayton Dunham wrote to Purdue University, telling them that he wanted to hire their top engineering student. That student was David Nelson Crosthwait, Jr., a person who had earned both his B.S and Masters of Engineering from Purdue. A few months later Mr. Dunham drove himself to the train depot in Marshalltown, Iowa in order to welcome the new engineer personally. And so began David Crosthwait’s long and distinguished career as one of the foremost inventors and authorities on heat transfer, ventilation, and air conditioning. Crosthwait, while in the position of Director of Research Laboratories for the C.A Dunham Co. - Marshall Engineered Products Company of Michigan - invented an improved boiler, a new thermostat control, and a new differential vacuum pump, all more effective for the heating systems in larger buildings. He became well known for innovative solutions to heating and ventilation problems and, as such, Crosthwait was commissioned to design the heating system for Radio City Music Hall in New York City. Over the course of his career, Mr. Crosthwait received 39 U.S and 80 foreign patents. He also authored a manual on heating and cooling with water guides, standards, and codes that dealt with heating, ventilation, refrigeration, and air conditioning systems. After retiring in 1971, Mr. Crosthwait taught a course on steam heating theory at Purdue University until his death in 1976. Born in 1898, Mr. Crosthwait, for a lifetime of achievements, was awarded an Honorary Doctorate from Purdue in 1975. He was also named a Fellow of the AAAS and served as a member of the American Society of Heating, Refrigerating, and Air Conditioning Engineers, and of the National Society of Professional Engineers. Mr. Crosthwait is also listed as one of the Top 25 Black Scientists in America. While times have changed and CAD drawings have long since replaced hand-drawn ink on velum documentation, when you call a Marshall Engineered Products Company Independent Sales Office you will speak to a representative who has been trained in the science of steam. The world was changing. Steam - which had dominated central heating, partly due to its inherent ability to travel through a system by its own kinetic energy - was giving way to a whole new world of Hydronic Technologies. The steam produced by boilers could also be used to supply domestic hot water, and hot water boilers were being introduced to share common distribution systems with the new chilled water Air Conditioning Systems being introduced. With an ear toward these changes, the company embraced the new field and put their engineering staff to work on the task of pump and hydronic specialty design. Soon the brass foundry that had supported the company with trap and valve castings had a new product to pour - pump impellers, machined to gleaming perfection and unmatched craftsmanship to design specifications still exclusive to Marshall Engineered Products Company. The values of innovation, quality, and longevity established long ago continue to be the guiding principles behind every product line engineered, manufactured, and sold by Marshall Engineered Products Company. From the first thermostatic trap perfected in 1903 has come the industry’s oldest line of designs, proven and tested in hundreds of thousands of buildings worldwide. From low pressure comfort to industrial process applications, Marshall Engineered Products Company (often referred to simply as MEPCO) produces the depth and range of products to answer your steam and hydronic system requirements. Founded on engineering innovation, our company continues to produce the lasting quality and operational longevity that exceeds the working expectations of other brands

The companys origin dates back to the early 1960s, when the Smith family started out as young, determined remanufacturers of spring brake chambers. In 1970, TSE developed its own new design based on experience gained through many years of remanufacturing and testing. TSE created the Omnibrake family of completely new units that changed the industry. Today, TSE no longer remanufactures, as its focus has shifted to the OEM market. In recent years, TSE has added one of the most extensive lines of disk brake actuators in the industry. As the standard equipment choice among a growing list of new truck and trailer manufacturers worldwide, the popularity of TSEs Omnibrake has taken off, generating record sales. The company has grown over the years because of its approach to research and development. This innovative approach began by taking apart over three million of the competitions failed spring brake chambers that had been returned to TSE as cores and examining their failures. From this data, TSEs Engineering Team has built into the Omnibrake a long list of patented innovations to reduce or eliminate nearly all of the serious causes of premature brake chamber failure. Today, TSEs R&D consists of a rigorous program of lab and field testing. The greatest result of TSEs commitment to R&D was the creation of a true "double life" unit built to deliver years of reliable service. The Omnibrakes major components all enjoy service life cycles that far exceed the recommendations of the Society of Automotive Engineers, or SAE. In tough SAE salt spray testing, the Omnibrakes exclusive electrodeposition coating delivered 1,000 hours of protection, greatly surpassing the SAEs recommendation of only 96 hours. The units rubber diaphragms easily cycle over two million times, more than double the SAEs one million cycle recommendation. And where the SAE says a spring brake chambers main power spring should last a recommended 200,000 cycles, TSEs Omnibrake consistently tests out at over 500,000 cycles. The TSE Brakes of today is a much larger operation than in those first few years. With over 350 employees, a chain of warehouses across North America, and its own private fleet of company over-the-road trucks, TSE has blossomed into a contender in the worldwide spring brake marketplace. Due to its focus on stringent quality controls, TSE Brakes is certified as ISO 9001:2000 and TS16949 compliant. Meeting these high worldwide quality standards means that TSE can become standard equipment on major power equipment manufacturers both in the U.S. and abroad. TSE enjoys a stable workforce made up of reliable people, many of which have been with TSE for more than 30 years.

In the 1950s, company founders Sidney Harman and Bernard Kardon invented the receiver by combining a tuner and amplifier into a single unit that anyone (not just tech-genius audiophiles) could use. In the 2000s, Harman Kardon was the first to simplify audio/video setup by fully color-coding an A/V receivers rear-panel connections. In between, the company has pioneered everything from stereo sound to cassette decks to a remote control that automatically calibrates a home theaters sound system. Whatever you want your sound system to do, Harman Kardon wants to make it easy - and to make it sound great.

Established in 1846, the young register company truly made its mark as the dominant manufacturer of cast iron registers in the latter half of the 19th century. The company continued to perfect its ornamental grille manufacturing processes and was eventually acquired by Hart & Cooley, Inc. in 1933. World War II influenced the production of several new products from Tuttle & Bailey, including air intake covers for tanks and mortar shells. The mortar die and special presses were brought out one more time during the Korean War. The Tuttle & Bailey business was moved to Holland, MI in 1983-84. In October 1989, Air Devices, Inc. was acquired by Hart & Cooley. Air Devices - located in Huntsville, Alabama - manufactured grilles, registers, diffusers, and terminal units under the trade names Agitair, Buensod, and BarbAire. Air Devices serviced the commercial plan/spec market through manufacturers representatives. Hart & Cooley already serviced this commercial segment of the market with the Tuttle & Bailey line of grilles, registers, and diffusers. Several basic marketing decisions were made shortly after the acquisition of Air Devices. First, all products sold in the plan/spec commercial market would be marketed under the trade name Tuttle & Bailey. Second, Tuttle & Bailey would be represented by an exclusive rep organization. These two decisions precipitated a rationalization process for both reps and products. In January 2000, Tomkins Industries, Inc. purchased Hart & Cooley, Inc., including the Tuttle & Bailey brand. Tuttle & Bailey was separated from Hart & Cooley, Inc., placed under the Air System Components Group (subsidiary of Tomkins Industries, Inc.), and relocated to Richardson, Texas in February 2000. As Tuttle & Bailey moves forward, we will continue to make marketing and product changes that will position us as an industry leader in the commercial plan/spec market. Drawing from the Air System Components Group, along with the best of the Agitair, Buensod, BarbAire, and Tuttle & Bailey brands, our product offering is one of the most complete lines available in the market today.
