T.O. Plastics has been in business since 1948. Founded by the author, Ted Ingersoll, and his partner, Oren Beech, the "T.O." name is derived from the first letter of each of their names. T.O. Plastics made its first parts in the garage of Ted's home. This book is a compilation of Ted's recollections beginning in December of 1941, and ending in 1989, when he wrote this book.
