An interesting history of mergers and acquisitions. I have no idea if
that is an indication of financial weakness or strength.
But then aerospace seems rather volatile. Dowdy-Decoto has changed
names/ownership several times finally ending up as GE Aerospace. Opps,
I just checked Google and they are now know as GE Aviation. They make
hydraulic actuators and maybe a landing gear or two. ;-)
Last time I looked they had three or four 12' Mazak lathes.
In the early days they made the first reusable release bar for carrier
catapults.
Yes, I know ... TMI
