Summary
| Description |
English: Cameron Iron Works began in 1920, when oil wildcatter James Smither Abercrombie purchased a controlling interest in Harry S. Cameron's shop to use reparing repairing drilling rigs and for forging high grade steel. The firm incorporated on August 20, 1920, with $25,000 capital, five men, two lathes, a drill press, and hand tools and patented its innovative blowout preventer in April 1922. Until World War II the firm concentrated on service and manufacture of oilfield equipment and from 1945 to 1950 on research and development. It manufactured U.S. Army material, particularly depth-charge projectors and arbors for the navy in World War II, along with gun barrels, gun mounts, and rockets, for which it received the Navy *Excellence in Production* award in 1941.
