I use to work for Scovill in the cylinder Division. The brass division at that time was tire valves. We used lost of brass in our division also. They had plants all over at that time. I worked for them in Alpena Mich and got transferred to Wake Forest NC. They got split up over the years. My division was bough out by Parker.
