Talk:Cushman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Everett Bruce Cushman incorporated the company in 1901, two years earlier than your comments indicate.

For the record, I am his oldest grandson, and the only one to carry on the family name. He personally trained me as a designer, pattern maker, and machinist . . . along with his second son, Clifford Eugene Cushman, my father. Everett B. Cushman did not approve of the low quality of products that came into existence after he was forced out of his own company in the 1920's.

To our knowledge, E.B.Cushman obtained 29 patents before his death in California in 1963 (he was born in Illinois in 1878). His second son, Clifford E. Cushman, obtained 19 patents, assigned to Pacific Scientific Corporation, and continue to be used in the control systems, and inertial restraint systems (for the flight crew) of most domestic aircraft, especially Boeing jets.

My own patents are mostly related to repair of vessels in the human body, "Vascular Clip System" (VCS) and assigned to LeMaitre Vascular Corporation.

We continue the Cushman tradition with our small company in Albuquerque, New Mexico, and product "perishable tooling" for the manufacture of GE Jet Engines.

My second son, Scot, has collected about 300 early Cushman engines, for a small museum . . . dating back to 1902. Many engines over 100 years old are in running condition and show little wear, demonstrating the quality that backed the "10 year guarantee" of those first engines.

Sincerely,

Robert Bruce Cushman www.cushmanengineering.com cec@swcp.com
