Historical Context
The Gardner Governor Company was founded by Robert Gardner in 1859. The company introduced the first effective speed controls for steam engines. This innovation, known as the flyball governor, helped pave the way to later production of other industrial products such as air compressors. By the turn of the century, the company sold more than 150,000 governors across the United States and Canada.
In 1927, the Gardner Governor Company merged with the Denver Rock Drill Company to become Gardner-Denver. In 1943 Gardner Denver wass listed on the New York Stock Exchange.
During the 1950's, Gardner-Denver made a number of acquisitions, including Keller Tool Company and the CycloBlower Company, a manufacturer of helical screw blowers.
During the 1960s, Gardner Denver added the Apex Machine and Tool Company and the Martin Decker Corporation.
In 1979 the company was acquired by Cooper Industries, Inc.
