hydraulic components and systems, primarily for the military. In the same facility avionics and other electronic
hardware was designed, manufactured, and documented in technical manuals. Much of this operation was relocated to a
new facility in Sylmar, CA where they had a large deep indoor pool for testing sonar. Telemetry components for the
RIM-8 Talos surface-to-air missile included transmitters and oscillators in various frequency bands; the missile
itself was designed and built by Bendix. They built and installed the telemetry system in all the ground stations for
the first crewed space flights. For this program, they developed the first cardio tachometer and respiration rate
monitor system so that a ground-based physician could observe an astronaut's vital signs. MK46 torpedo electronics
also came from this facility. Other diverse products included radar detectors in aircraft that identified ground
missile tracking and ground missile launch at the aircraft. In the 1960s they produced an anti-lock brake system for
military aircraft using established technology similar to Dunlop's earlier Maxaret. The technology is similar to the
notched wheel and reluctor now used in cars. " (from Wikipedia) #43883 $65
