The company builds pods and other jet parts for all major aircraft manufacturers and has good prospects of landing orders for developmental work on new Navy ships. Garry's most pressing task, however, is to persuade lenders to give Rohr more time to raise needed cash by finding buyers for its ill-fated ventures. If Rohr...
