| | Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 1 | Title: | Thompson Products Aviation Photographs
| | | | Creator: | Thompson Products | | | | Dates: | 1804-1963 | | | | Abstract: | Thompson Products 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 Corporation 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 individual aircraft; reciprocating, jet, and rocket aviation power plants; personalities; famous flights; and miscellaneous images related to all aspects of aviation history through the mid-1960s. The collection represents the history and development of aviation airframe and power plant technology. Over 200 aircraft manufacturing types and over 100 power plant manufacturing types are represented, including numerous images of Curtiss and Wright aircraft, as well as many lesser known manufacturing types. The collection also contains many images of dirigibles, blimps, and balloons. The photographs in this collection were acquired by Thompson Products of Cleveland, Ohio from the Dearborn Library-Henry Ford Museum, the Wright Patterson Air Force Technical Museum, and from various aircraft and aviation related industries, including the Curtiss-Wright and Boeing corporations, and were used by Thompson Products as an aviation photographic reference source. | | | | Call #: | PG 444 | | | | Extent: | 4.40 linear feet (11 containers) | | | | Subjects: | Thompson Products, inc. -- Photograph collections. | TRW Inc. -- Photograph collections. | Aircraft supplies industry -- United States -- Photographs. | Aircraft industry -- United States -- Photographs. | Airplanes -- Design and construction -- Photographs. | Aeronautics -- History -- Photographs. | Aeronautics -- Flights -- Photographs. | Airships -- Photographs. | Balloons -- Photographs.

| Photograph Collection | Requires cookie* | | 4 | Title: | Frederick C. Crawford Family Photographs

Crawford headed Thompson Products, Inc. (later TRW Inc.) as it moved from an automotive and aircraft parts manufacturer into the aviation and aerospace industries. A leader of Cleveland's philanthropic community, Crawford served on the boards of many cultural institutions. He was appointed to the Western Reserve Historical Society Board of Trustees in 1944 and later served as it's president. He was instrumental in the transfer of the Thompson Auto Album and Aviation Museum collection to WRHS in the 1960s, which became the nucleus of the Frederick C. Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum of WRHS. Crawford was married twice; to Audrey Cecelia Bowles in 1932, and to Kathleen M. Saxon in 1975. The collection consists of individual and group portraits of Frederick C. Crawford and various Crawford family members. Views of various Crawford family homes are included, as are images from travels taken by Crawford. Portraits and views of Steel Products Co. and Thompson Products Inc. facilities and employees, including Thompson Products president Charles E. Thompson and Thompson family members, are also part of the collection. Pioneers in the aviation and aerospace industries are represented in the collection and include James E. Doolittle, T. Keith Glennan, aviatrix Jacqueline Cochran, and three time Thompson Trophy Race winner Roscoe Turner. Others depicted include Douglas MacArthur, Dwight D. Eisenhower, General Claire Chennault, and William M. McVey. Groups Crawford was associated with, including the Western Reserve Historical Society, Harvard University, and various national aeronautic associations and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), are also part of the collection, as are portraits and views depicting the National Air Races. | | | | Call #: | PG 513 | | | | Extent: | 16.10 linear feet (36 containers and 1 oversize folder) | | | | Subjects: | Crawford, Frederick C., 1891- -- Photograph collections. | Crawford family -- Photograph collections. | Thompson, Charles E. 1870-1933 -- Photograph collections. | Thompson family -- Photograph collections. | Doolittle, James Harold, 18961993- -- Photograph collections. | Glennan, Thomas Keith, 1905- -- Photograph collections. | McVey, William M., 1905- -- Photograph collections. | Cochran, Jacqueline -- Photograph collections. | Turner, Roscoe, 1895-1970 -- Photograph collections. | MacArthur, Douglas, 1880-1964 -- Photograph collections. | Eisenhower, Dwight D.
