The Acme-Cleveland Corporation was formed In Cleveland, Ohio, by the merger in 1968 of Cleveland Twist Drill Company, a manufacturer
of high-speed drills and metal cutting tools, and the National Acme Company, a manufacturer of automatic multiple-spindle
lathes and screw machines. Cleveland Twist Drill was founded in 1876 by Jacob D. Cox II, son of a Civil War general and former
governor of Ohio, and Francis F. Prentiss. The company became a leader in the manufacture of superior-grade high-speed twist
drills. By 1936 it was the world's largest maker of high-speed drills and reamers, flourishing under Jacob D. Cox, Jr., who
pioneered profit-sharing and authored two books on wage theory. National Acme originated in Hartford, Connecticut, as the
Acme Screw Machine Company in 1895, makers of the first commercially successful automatic multiple-spindle screw manufacturing
machine. Acme Screw merged with National Manufacturing Co. in 1901 to become National Acme Manufacturing Company, which purchased
the Windsor Machine Company to become National Acme Company in 1916. The collection consists of financial reports, ledgers,
shareholder meetings, company newsletters, marketing material, and correspondence, particularly those of Francis F. Prentiss,

History of Acme-Cleveland Corporation
The Acme-Cleveland Corporation was formed from the merger in 1968 of the Cleveland Twist Drill Company, a manufacturer of
high-speed drills and metal cutting tools, and the National Acme Company, a manufacturer of automatic multiple-spindle lathes
and screw machines.
Cleveland Twist Drill originated in 1876 when Jacob D. Cox II (a.k.a. J. D. Cox Sr., 1828-1900) invested in a Dunkirk, New
York, machine shop owned by C. C. Newton. Newton and Cox moved a few months later to a rented shop on Columbus Street in Cleveland,
Ohio's Flats neighborhood where they made machine tools and metal cutting tools. In 1880, Cox bought out Newton and sold a
40% share to his brother-in-law Francis F. Prentiss (1858-1937). The firm of Cox and Prentiss moved to West Street in 1882
and then to its primary location on East 49th Street, Cleveland, Ohio, between St. Clair Avenue and Lakeside Avenue, in 1888.
It was renamed Cleveland Twist Drill in 1883 when it discontinued making machine tools, and was incorporated in 1904 when
J. D. Cox Sr. retired. By 1896, Cleveland Twist Drill had reached $200,000 in sales, concentrating on twist drills, reamers,
and other metal cutting tools, and it began opening sales offices in other cities. Francis F. Prentiss, who had directed sales
and marketing for the firm since 1880, succeeded Cox as president in 1904. The company became a leader in the manufacture
of superior-grade high-speed twist drills. By 1905 the company was selling internationally, as well as maintaining stockrooms
in New York and Chicago through which it conducted a highly competent distribution and sales network.
In addition to serving as president of Cleveland Twist Drill until 1911, Francis F. Prentiss was president of the Cleveland
Chamber of Commerce, and chairman of the Cleveland Industrial Exposition of 1909. He was a noted philanthropist, supporting
the arts and social causes. He backed the Visiting Orchestra Series and the Musical Arts Association, and was trustee of
the Cleveland Museum of Art and the Western Reserve Historical Society. He was also on the Board of Trustees for Hiram House,
and was a co-founder of the Workman's Collateral Loan Company, which was an organization created and run by members of Cleveland
business community to support working families by offering low- and no-interest loans to pay for rent, food, clothing during
times of distress, or until work could be obtained.
Cleveland Twist Drill flourished under the leadership of Jacob D. Cox, Jr. who became president in 1916. During the 1920s,
the company pioneered the development of steels made of molybdenum as a substitute for tungsten supplies which had been cut
off during World War I. By 1936, the company was the largest manufacturer of high-speed drills and reamers in the world. Under
J. D. Cox, Jr. a pioneering profit-sharing plan was implemented along with numerous other employee benefits. J. D. Cox Jr.
also wrote extensively in the area of economics and in particular on the subject of wages. He authored two books, The Economic
Basis of Fair Wages (1926), and Material Human Progress (1952), in which he presented his view that productivity rather than
wages was the sole determinant in the rise or fall of the standard of living.
The National Acme Company was founded in 1895 in Hartford, Connecticut, as the Acme Screw Machine. This company made the first
automatic multiple-spindle screw manufacturing machine to be a commercial success. Called the "Acme", this machine accomplished
all its operations in the turn of the longest single cut. In 1901, the company moved to Cleveland and merged with the National
Manufacturing Company, a parts manufacturer which was using Acme machines. In 1915, the new firm, National Acme Manufacturing
Company, located at 7500 Stanton Avenue, purchased a major competitor, the Windsor Machine Company (Windsor, Vermont), and
in 1916 incorporated itself as the National Acme Company. It constructed a new plant at East 131st Street and Coit Road and
consolidated its operations into this facility in 1933 and discontinued making or selling screw machine products in favor
of the machines themselves.
During World War II, both National Acme and Cleveland Twist Drill supported the war effort, which resulted in increased production
and profits following the war. During the 1950s, National Acme acquired Shalco Systems, a producer of foundry shell and core
mold machines. Following the merger of National Acme and Cleveland Twist Drill, Acme-Cleveland Corporation focused production
in the automotive, capital equipment, and screw machine products industries. In 1972, Acme-Cleveland acquired LaSalle Machine
Tool, Inc.
The economic recession of the 1980s forced the corporation to cut costs and its workforce. The LaSalle unit was sold off in
1984. During the period between 1982 and 1992, the company lost $45.5 million. In 1994, Cleveland Twist Drill was sold to
Greenfield Industries and its product line absorbed into that company. In 1996, the remainder of Acme-Cleveland was acquired
by Danaher Corporation where it now produces communication, motion control, and measurement systems.

Scope and Content
The Acme-Cleveland Corporation Records, Photographs, and Audio/Visual Materials, Series II, 1825-1996, and undated, consist
of company newsletters, financial reports and ledgers, marketing materials, including catalogs and brochures, and shareholder
reports and meeting materials, as well as approximately 1000 photographs and glass plate negatives, primarily of the Cleveland
Twist Drill Company and 16mm film.
This collection will be useful to researchers of business and industry in Cleveland, Ohio, during the late nineteenth and
mid-twentieth centuries, specifically the Cleveland Twist Drill Company, National Acme Manufacturing Company, and Acme-Cleveland
Corporation and those companies specializing in machine tooling. Catalogs and brochures from the early 1900s (found in Series
I, sub-series F) will be of interest to those researching marketing techniques and presentations. Along with product literature,
a very large collection of photographs (see Series V) detailing factory design and layout of machinery and equipment will
be of interest to industrial and product engineers. Students of labor practices and organizational activities will find a
large number of images of employees both at work and during company social events of interest. Those investigating the financial
aspects of large manufacturing operations will find information within the early ledgers and annual reports. Internal correspondence
from factory managers, and the collection of company newsletters, provide insight into how the company operated and perceived
itself both with interaction with employees and the public.
External events affected the company and its operation, and those looking at a broader historical context will find records
and photographs related to World War I and World War II, the East Ohio Gas Explosion, labor movements, and even a water main
break in the neighborhood surrounding one of the factories. Also included in the photograph collection are images showing
the participation of women and African-Americans in the workforce.
The large collection of correspondence of Francis F. Prentiss will be of particular interest to researchers of philanthropy,
entrepreneurship, and investment (found in Series II of the collection). Within his papers, researchers will find correspondence
with the Cleveland, Ohio, Chamber of Commerce, with his association with the development of Hiram House Settlement, the Workman's
Collateral Loan Company, and with Peerless Motor Car Company, as well as his investment in an early business in the territory
of Hawaii. There is also his communications with various company managers and with his various siblings regarding his interests,
travels, investments, and philanthropic endeavors that provide insight into late 19th and early 20th century life of the wealthy.
Overall, the materials included in this collection will appeal to those interested in the operation and dynamics of large,
successful manufacturing companies, and the entrepreneurial spirit of the people who founded them.
