Another Brunswick Business

[Bob Jewett]

I had no idea....



That would be Buddy Holly and the Crickets for those of you old enough to remember them or at least old enough to remember Don McLean.

And for those who don't remember either, here you go: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsZFiMo8TIc

One of the tidbits in that video: the Crickets' name was the Beatles' inspiration for theirs.

pj <- an homage?

From Wiki:

In the early 20th century, Brunswick expanded the product line to include such diverse products as toilet seats, automobile tires, and phonographs. In the late 1910s, they introduced a quickly-popular line of disc phonograph records, under the name Brunswick Records. In 1930, Brunswick sold the control of the record company to Warner Brothers and came out with a line of refrigerators.

During World War II, Brunswick-Balke-Collender made small target-drone aircraft for the U.S. military.

The Brunswick Corporation patented a machine gun using a delayed blowback operation using a fluted chamber as part of the weapon's operation.[6] Another platform was the Rifleman's Assault Weapon, an unusual grenade launcher that used a spherical rocket propelled grenade.[7][8][9][10]

In the 1980s, Brunswick became a major maker of yachts and pleasure boats, whose brands include Bayliner, Boston Whaler, Maxum, Sea Ray, and Trophy.

During the Gulf War, Brunswick supplied the military with camouflage nets. They also made radomes for the Patriot missile.

Patriot missile parts? Can't get more American than that! :smile:

Boating is Brunswick's largest division, manufacturing many brands of boats and marine engines. They are also heavily involved in the Arms and Weapons industry, making guided missiles and guidance systems.

I could use their guidance system on some of my shots.

Brunswick had a plant in Marion Virginia that made many different wooden products used in the Furniture industry. I called on that plant back in the late 80's until it closed in the mid 90's. About 5 years later, I had purchased an on Anniversary Centennial that needed to be restored. 50 miles down the road is a town call Pulaski Va and there was a large plating company there that also polished aluminum. Next sales call I had in the area , I gathered the sides of the table and headed that way. Old Gentleman came out to meet me and saw the parts. First thing he said, Those parts are from a 1945 Brunswick Centennial,,we did all the polishing for those back when,
