TRW

TRW has helped shape the major industries of today: automotive, aerospace, and information systems. In the first comprehensive history of this organization - the result of unprecedented access to TRW's archives and in-depth interviews with its employees - author Davis Dyer documents a company whose command of manufacturing technology and systems engineering has influenced national and international business affairs throughout the twentieth century. In this revealing account, TRW emerges as a resourceful and inventive player in the American industrial landscape. Dyer's interviews with Frederick Crawford - begun when Crawford was ninety-eight - offer a rare opportunity to reflect with someone who collaborated with such pioneers of American business as Henry Ford, Walter Chrysler, and Pierre du Pont.

First sentence: IN ITS 1996 ANNUAL REPORT, TRW ATTEMPTED TO DISTILL ITS ESSENCE INTO TWO SENTENCES, as a global manufacturing and service company strategically focused on supplying advanced technology products and services to the automotive and space and defense markets.
