It evolved from a cement testing division established in 1906 for the Truscon Steel Co., then known as the Trussed Steel Co. As part of its consultation service in connection with reinforced concrete, the division in ,1910 began to develop water-proofing products which filled a need in the construction field. In 1S36, following the merger of the Truscon Steel Co. with Republic Steel, Truscon stockholders acquired the laboratories and set it up as an independent company.

As a result, the company has, in effect, suc¬ cessfully undergone the long anticipated reconverstion from peak war¬ time mass production to a more normal volume of output. This change faces the aviation industry in general as the success of the war in Europe becomes more apparent daily, Mr. Harris stated. The company executed in August, 1944, a final renegotiation settle¬ ment for the year 1942, increasing the gross renegotiation refund for that year to $4,750,000, an increase of $250,000 over the amount pro¬ vided in the tentative renegotiation settlement for 1942 which had been executed in September, 1943. This final settlement reduced the net income for 1942 to $1,657,124, or $2.68 a share after pcst-war credit, and to $1,116,552, or $1.80 a share before post-war credit. This compares with net income of $1,708,478, or $2.76 a share after post¬ war credit, and of $1,148,291, or $1.85 a share before post-war credit, as reported tentatively for 1942 in the company's 1943 annual report, which gave effect to the original tentative renegotiation settlement for supply $9,794,671 war —____ for prov. profits excess had effec¬ tively concluded a major four-year wartime assignment for the armed forces, calling for the production of more than 30,000 aircrait engines and spare parts, and that the company's original plant is now engaged in production of rocket motors and other war equipment, principally for the Pacific theatre of operations.
