Alfred Pritchard Sloan Jr., whose father died in 1932 leaving $2,297,000, went from M. I. T. to Hyatt Roller Bearing Co., in which the Senior Sloan had a large interest. His first job had to do with manufacturing billiard balls, then an important Hyatt product. With the development of automobile roller bearings which supplanted billiard balls, the small, struggling Hyatt became large & rich. In 1916 Hyatt was taken over by William Crapo Durant, whose General Motors dream included motorcar accessories as well as motorcars. In 1920 Mr. Durant was out of General Motors, the du Ponts were...
...heard of it but, instantly recognizing it as a Goya of about 1787. asked permission to include it in all future editions of his book, Francisco de Goya. Within a month it was sold to Mrs. William R. Timken, sister-in-law of Henry Holiday Timken, maker of Timken Roller Bearings (TIME, Aug. 19).

...Stevenson rat is impervious to all such lures and hindrances. Resembling a three-wheeled roller skate loaded with small motors, electromagnets and switches, the robot is set on a track containing twelve forks at each of which a wrong turn leads to a dead-end.

This resets the controls in such...
Chief beneficiaries of the extra dividend, which totaled approximately $1,200,000, are Board Chairman Henry Holiday Timken and his brother, Vice President William R. Timken who, on the basis of their last SEC report on stockholdings will receive nearly $200,000. Timken Roller Bearing is essentially a family business and the Timkens are a tight-lipped family. The company was founded as a carriage works in the last century by Henry Timken, onetime blacksmith. Founder Timken thought carriages dull the moment he began experimenting with cup and cone ball bearings. His enthusiasm infected his two sons when the huge...
...Timkens were among the first to discover the advantages of the roller bearing over the ball bearing. Their ace product today is the Timken tapered roller bearing (i.e. larger at one end than at the other). This simple device is of prime importance to automobiles where radial and thrust loads are encountered simultaneously in road curves, twists and shocks. Timken tapered roller bearings are standard equipment on nearly every car except those of General Motors which has its own New Departure and Hyatt bearings. Timken also makes bearings for other industrial uses. Its most significant recent milestone was the locomotive...
