[NSRCA-discussion] Off the wall....

It's hard to imagine that Irv Ohlsson and Harry Rice were involved in the Company at this time, if it even still existed at it's original location (Emery and Grande Vista in Los Angeles.)  During the war, my Dad worked with Irv Ohlsson at North American Aviation at Inglewood, Calif. (Mines Field.)  Nice guy, Dad said.  Years later, I met Harry Rice, just a few weeks before he died.  Unfortunately, he and Ohlsson had a fallling out, with a lot of bad feelings. Happens, I guess.

  Here's one for everybody.
  I just got a call from my wife at work.  She had one of the plant employees in her office.
  They asked me if I had ever heard of an O&R engine.  I have my Dad's engines from the 
  1950's and a couple are Ohlsson & Rice.  I figured I had this question nailed right?
  Wrong!
  Turns out it's some kind of power tool motor.  The guy wanted Paula to bring it home to see
  what I could find out.  A quick search revealed that they did in fact make chainsaw, pump motors, etc.
  Anyone else ever heard of these?
