Immediately after incorporation company commenced business in Glendale, [" Calif.,* as a sales agent on commission for manufacturers producing various types of aircraft parts and accessories. By 1939, however, 'the business of the company had come to be principally that of designing, developing, engineering, manufacturing and selling hydraulic I equipment for use on airplanes. As of April 16, 1939, company acquired all of the outstanding stock of the Thos. L. Siebenthaler Mfg. Co, which carried on business in Kansas City, Mo., consisting principally of designing, developing, engineering, manufacturing and selling radio transmitting, receiving and accessory equipment for airports and aircraft, and airport and aircraft maintenance equipment. Later the name of the Siebenthaler ; Co. was changed to "Aircraft Accessories Corp. of Mo." and in 1942 the latter corporation was dissolved and its business, assets and obligations were taken over by the company.: : .l ,; V. Substantially all of the business of the company is now wartime business under prime contracts with the U. S. Government or sub¬ contracts under Government contracts. Substantially all such con¬ tracts and subcontracts contain provisions permitting the other party to terminate them at any time independently of any default by the company. These contracts contain provisions designed to compensate the company for work done and materials purchased by it pursuant to such contracts up to the date of any such termination. Through Jan. 1, 1945, such terminations had given rise to, termination claims by the company of approximately $2,883,708.
