On the event of a historic anniversary, it is worthwhile to pause from technology’s ceaseless push forward to celebrate what can be accomplished in the span of a human lifetime. August, 2004 marks the 75th anniversary of Curtiss-Wright Corporation, one of America’s most enduring technology companies, and a leading supplier of VME boards and systems through the company’s Curtiss-Wright Controls Embedded Computing group. Curtiss-Wright was originally formed by two of America’s most important pioneering aviation firms, who separately, and later as a single entity, put innovation in motion to drive the creation and advancement of the avionics and aerospace industries that so many commercial and military VME vendors support today.
