Rockwell Management Corp company history timeline

1927

Charles Lindbergh's flight across the Atlantic in 1927 generated such interest in aviation that suddenly even small aviation companies were deluged with money from investors.

1930

In 1930, North American lost its majority control of National Air Transport to the United Aircraft company.

1947

In 1947, the design and production rights to the Navion were sold to Ryan Aeronautical.

1961

North American's Redstone rocket was used to launch Alan Shepard and Virgil Grissom into space during the Mercury space program in 1961.

1967

Rockwell-Standard made a $922 million bid for North American Aviation in March of 1967.

1973

In 1973, the company changed its name to Rockwell International when it was merged with another separate company created by Willard Rockwell Jr., the Rockwell Manufacturing Company.

1974

Rockwell was trying to establish the firm's business in high profile consumer markets, like Admiral television, which Anderson sold in 1974.

1978

Ten years earlier, in 1978, when Beall was president of Rockwell's electronic division in Dallas, he reportedly spent one evening composing notes delineating what he would do if given control of Rockwell.

1983

By 1983, however, the Reagan administration had reactivated the B-1 project as part of its ambitious military program.

1986

That venture was indefinitely postponed by the explosion of the space shuttle Challenger in January 1986.

1994

In early 1994, Allen-Bradley was recording $8.1 million in sales per day, the greatest amount in the company's history and cause for much optimism for Rockwell's future as a more dynamic player in the commercial electronics market.
