In 1888, Mr. Charles E. and Fred D. Van Norman founded the Waltham Watch Tool Company, to manufacture tools for use in the jewelry trade around the city of Waltham. A few years later, the company was moved to Springfield, Massachusetts and its line of products expanded. In 1890, the first Van Norman Milling Machine was built and sold and since that time the principal efforts of the company have been devoted to design and manufacture of precision machine tools. Van Norman Machine Tool Company, in 1914, announced the first of its line of Oscillating Grinders, now used by substantially all of the important manufacturers of ball and roller bearings in the world. In 1920, the Company began the development and sale of a line of automotive repair equipment and today ranks as the outstanding manufacturer of this type of equipment in the automotive service industry.
