TRW Inc.

Established in 1900, in Cleveland, Ohio, as the Cleveland Cap Screw Co. It began producing automotive parts and underwent several reorganizations, becoming the Electric Welding Products Co. (1908), the Steel Products Co. (1915), and Thompson Products Inc. (1926). It expanded to include branch plants and the production of aircraft parts, and fostered a company union, the Automotive and Aircraft Workers Alliance (later the Aircraft Workers Alliance). It grew during World War II due to defense contracts. After the war it entered the jet and aerospace industries. It merged in 1958 with Ramo Wooldridge Corp. to become TRW Inc. Outside activities include the National Air Races and the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum of the Western Reserve Historical Society.
