| | | | Creator: | Jardine, Frank | | | | Dates: | 1921-1963 | | | | Abstract: | Frank Jardine was a pioneer in the development of aluminum as a material for automotive parts, especially the automobile piston. Jardine was manager of Alcoa's Cleveland Developmental Division, 1940-1953, and held numerous patents for automobile parts manufactured from aluminum. In the late 1920s, Jardine helped to develop the Peerless V-16, a luxury automobile made from aluminum components, but the car never went into production. The collection consists of testimonial letters upon Jardine's retirement in 1955, but also includes speeches, technical articles, and news clippings relating to Jardine's career, the aluminum industry and its role in automobile manufacturing, technological developments in the industry, and Cleveland's contributions to that industry. | | | | Call #: | MS 4510 | | | | Extent: | 0.21 linear feet (1 container and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Jardine, Frank, 1888-1963. | Aluminum Company of America. | Aluminum industry and trade -- United States. | Aluminum industry and trade -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Automobile industry and trade -- United States. | Automobile industry and trade -- Ohio -- Cleveland. | Automobiles -- Parts. | Automobiles -- Parts -- Patents. | Automobiles -- Technological innovations. | Automobiles -- Motors -- Pistons and piston rings. | Automobiles -- Motors -- Technological innovations.
