Hide Profile

Founded in 1924 by Vincent Bendix to manufacture brake systems, by the mid-1950s the Bendix Corporation had branched out into many other areas, one of these being scientific instrumentation. Their flagship product in this area was the Time-of-Flight Mass Spectrometer and when newer developments resulted in instruments like the quadrupole mass spectrometer, Bendix saw its market share begin to erode. At first Bendix shifted its TOF MS business to a subsidiary, the Consolidated Vacuum Corporation (CVC) , but CVC became an independent entity following Bendix's takeover by Allied Signal in 1983, and in 1992 CVC signed an agreement with Prime Technology, a company begun a Patrick McGinnis, a former Bendix employee, allowing Prime to market the TOF MS technology
