This is a Very Well made Medal by KAAG Trophies Inc. of Los Angeles, California, for the North American Rockwell Corporation / Space Division that was predominately located in Southern California.
It was made for the Employees who worked for its Space Division’s, Apollo Program, and those involved in Americas First Steps in Space, and presented just after the Apollo Moon Landing.
The employees of the North American Rockwell Corporation / Space Division worked on programs before the merger of Rockwell Standard and North American Aviation. Programs like Redstone, Atlas, Apollo, Delta, and eventually Space Shuttle. Rocket Engines, Guidance, Launch Vehicles, Engineering, and even the X-15 Rocket Plane!
This is Basically how North American and Rockwell, became the North American Rockwell Corp. -
Timken-Detroit
owned by Rockwell Manufacturing Co., merged in 1953 with the Standard Steel Spring Company, forming the Rockwell Spring and Axle Company. After various mergers with automotive suppliers, it comprised about 10 to 20 factories in the
Upper Midwestern
U.S. and southern
Ontario
. In 1958 renamed itself Rockwell-Standard Corporation.
The
Pittsburgh
-based Rockwell Standard Corp., then acquired and merged with
Los Angeles
-based
North American Aviation
, to form North American Rockwell Corp. in September 1967
In 1973 it was combined with all of its aerospace products, and renamed Rockwell International.
