History
The Steel Pulley & Machine Company was founded in 1883 in Indianapolis, Indiana by Harmon H. Fulton. It moved to Beaver Falls, Pennsylvania in 1892 and again in 1895 to Elmira, New York.[2] Then, in 1914, the company started manufacturing automobile starter motors under license from the Bendix Corporation and in 1929 was acquired by Bendix outright.[3] By 1939, the company had been combined with Pioneer Instrument Company under a new roof at a factory in Teterboro, New Jersey.[4] During World War II, the company built timed anti-aircraft fuses and 20 mm aircraft cannon. It was the latter that spurred the construction of a second plant in 1940.[5]
