Starting in 1970, BORG WARNER was my employer for 15 years. Recently I discovered these interesting headlines from their 1951 employee newsletter:
HARRY SLEEPS WELL "Two York Manufacturing air conditioning units were recently installed in the Blair House in Washington DC for President Harry Truman. One in his bedroom and the other in the library of the temporary White House."
THE FIRST AND LARGEST "When the steamship UNITED STATES floated slowly out of the dock at Newport News, Virginia it was the largest and first completely air conditioned passenger ship ever built in this country.....and the air conditioning was all manufactured at York Borg Warner."
HEAT TREATING IDEA "During the 1980's I was responsible for employee communications and publications. One of the things I really enjoyed was shooting pictures and uncovering stories about employees."I shot the picture (above) for the front cover of a monthly publication that was sent to the home of each employee. It shows Louis Spiegel demonstrating a special method of heat treating inside the York manufacturing complex.
