Gorman Machine

In 1950 Ken Gorman of Watertown MA worked for a tiny parts manufacturer out of a tiny 3 bay garage. A firm named Holtzen Cabot of Roxbury MA needed some coils to be wound for them, Ken took on the job when his employer did not express interest in the job. He designed a winding machine and wound coils for them as a subcontractor. In 1951 he worked for General Electric of Lynn MA as a contractor where he contracted to design a coil winding machine for them given his previous knowledge in winding coils. He was paid $6000. 00 for that 1st machine.
