USA - Cleveland Automatic Machine Co. - 1902 - share
- In 1866 Thomas Howard White, who had already been manufacturing sewing machines in Massachusetts, relocated to Cleveland, Ohio, and established the White Manufacturing Co. to manufacture sewing machines. Over the ensuing decades White expanded his product line in a variety of directions—bicycles, automobiles, phonographs, roller skates, etc. The business grew to a substantial concern of 1,000 employees. White aggressively pursued improvements to both his products and their manufacturing processes, and along the way his mechanics and engineers created improvements to multi-spindle drill presses, automatic lathes, and screw-making machines. In 1892 he established a new company to build and sell his improved screw machine, the Cleveland Machine Screw Co., incorporated in Ohio. In late 1893 that firm acquired Fitchburg, Mass., ball-bearing machinery manufacturer Grant Anti-Friction Ball Co., which owned some key patents for manufacturing bearing balls. The facilities of the Grant company were relocated to Cleveland. In 1898 the Cleveland Machine Screw Co. was re-incorporated under the laws of West Virginia. The company name led to confusion as to what the company made, and in 1902 the name was changed to the Cleveland Automatic Machine Co., which was incorporated under the laws of New Jersey. It was perhaps at this time that T. H. White relinquished presidency of the company to A. L. Garford. In 1916 the company reorganized yet again, this time under the laws of Ohio. Under either name the company was quietly successful. In the early 1940s the R. K. LeBlond Machine Tool Co. acquired a controlling interest in the Cleveland Automatic Machine Co. but continued to operate the business under its original name. In 1946 another LeBlond subsidiary, LeBlond Engineering, was merged into the Cleveland Automatic Machine Co. organization. At the end of 1956, LeBlond acquired pigment-machinery manufacturer J. H. Day Co., Inc. and merged it into the Cleveland Automatic Machine Co., where it operated as the J. H. Day Company Division.
