The Naugatuck Fuel Company
This concern started business in
July, 1928, by purchasing the prop
erty and gasoline business Of e. J..
Melbourne on Rubber avenue. Short
ly afterward they purchased the
property and business of G. w. Ben
edict on Church street. Since then
this corporation has become an In
dustry, employing at present about
As men to handle their business,
consisting of coal, coke, fuel oils,
gasoline, fertilizer, Ford cars and
trucks, involving general garage and
service shops, masons materials such
as cement, lime, plaster and pipe.
An interesting sidelight on this
business Is that the company has
been appointed by the Ford Motor
Company as parts distributor for
northwestern Connecticut, their
truck going as far north as the
Massachusetts line and west to New
York state.
The Bristol Company - A new
Recording Potentiometer OF the
round-chart type, known as the Py-
romaster, has been developed by the
Bristol Company. This instrument,
available for measuring tempera-
ture, speed, and electrical quantities,
operates on an entirely different
principle from those now In use.
The new instrument has many
outstanding features, among which
are the following: 1t requires no
fabrication whatsoever; 1t Is not af-
fected by vibration: there Is no
mechanical motion Of any kind ex-
cept when a change occurs in the
value OF the measured quantity;
and 1t can be used with complete
success under extremely rough plant
conditions, where the air Is laden
with dust, moisture, and corrosive
fumes.
Naugatuck Valley Photo-Engrav-
ing Company - This Is one OF our
newest industries. 1t Is making rapid
progress and Is now an established
institution. We learn through pic
lures. One good picture Is worth
thousands Of words. The picture Is
the most effective way Of conveying
an idea. This company reports IN
creasing business and new customers
every month.
