Historical Context
The American Bosch Magneto Corporation was founded on September 6, 1906 by Robert Bosch in New York City, New York as an American division of his German operation, Robert Bosch A.G. The company was best known for its ignition systems - which were used in automobiles, trucks, tractors, airplanes, boats and motorcycles. The company also produced radios. Company headquarters were in New York (1906-1910) and Springfield, Massachusetts (1910-1986).
In 1918, the company's stock was seized by the government and sold at public auction and were purchased by the newly-formed American Bosch Magneto Corporation. In 1921, a separate company by the name Robert Bosch Magneto Company, Inc. was formed by former stockholders of the Bosch Magneto Company. In 1930, the two Bosch companies were merged, forming the United American Bosch Corporation. In 1942, the company was again taken over by the government until it was sold to the Arma Corporation in 1949, who changed their name to American Bosch Arma Corporation in 1954 to reflect the acquisition.
The company plant was shut down in 1986.
