| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 17 | Title: | TRW Inc. Records
| | | | Creator: | TRW Inc. | | | | Dates: | 1900-1969 | | | | Abstract: | TRW, Inc. was established in 1900, in Cleveland, Ohio, as the Cleveland Cap Screw Company. It began producing automotive parts and underwent several reorganizations, becoming the Electric Welding Products Company (1908), the Steel Products Company (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 Collection of the Western Reserve Historical Society. The collection consists of minute books, correspondence, memoranda, financial records, newsletters, histories, and publications, the bulk of which relate to Thompson Products, Inc. and its subsidiaries during the 1930s and 1940s and bear largely upon labor management relations. Detailed information on interactions with the CIO, the National Labor Relations Board and the National War Labor Board is included. | | | | Call #: | MS 3942 | | | | Extent: | 84.80 linear feet (184 containers and 86 oversize volumes) | | | | Subjects: | TRW Inc. | National Air Races (Cleveland, Ohio) | Automobile supplies industry -- United States. | Aircraft supplies industry -- United States. | Aircraft industry -- United States. | Aerospace industries -- United States. | Industrial relations -- United States. | Automobile industry workers -- United States. | Aircraft industry workers -- United States. | Aeronautics -- Competitions -- United States. | Airplane racing -- Ohio -- Cleveland.

| Manuscript Collection | Requires cookie* | | 20 | Title: | Clifford W. Henderson National Air Races Collection
| | | | Creator: | Henderson, Clifford W. | | | | Dates: | 1924-1983 | | | | Abstract: | Clifford William Henderson (1895-1984) was director of the National Air Races, 1928-1939, as well as other air races and expositions. Henderson managed and promoted sporting and cultural events, expositions, and conventions in the Los Angeles area after resigning from the National Air Races. He served with honor in North Africa during World War II, and founded the community of Palm Desert, California. The collection is a comprehensive body of documentary evidence reflecting the organization and implementation of the races, consisting of press releases, letters, programs, posters, tickets, buttons, clippings, certificates and plaques. The 1928 race was held in Los Angeles, but from 1929 to 1939 most of the races were held in Cleveland. They featured cross country races, short races, army and navy maneuvers, stunt flying, parachute jumping, gliders, dirigibles, balloons and model planes and were considered a working laboratory for the aviation industry where new developments could be tested and refined. The collection is useful to the study of the races as both a popular amusement and as an aviation industry endeavor. In addition, the collection contains excellent examples of graphic design and illustration and biographical materials on various aviators. | | | | Call #: | MS 4309 | | | | Extent: | 11.10 linear feet (35 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Henderson, Clifford William, 1895-1984. | National Air Races (U.S.) | Airplane racing -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Airplane racing -- United States. | Aircraft industry -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aircraft industry -- United States. | Air pilots -- United States -- Biography. | Women air pilots -- United States -- Biography. | Commercial art -- United States. | Amusements -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aeronautics -- Competitions -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Aeronautics -- Competitions -- United States.
