Default ROCKET MOTOR 2.2LBS THRUST

Greetings

I confirmed that a listing on eBay has one for sale.

What happened to Walter Kidde company.? Are they still around or another takeover.

Of particular interest would be a catalog from this company showing the various rocket motors for space apps. Anyone out there know of one on the loose.? Web site maybe.

Info found would be given to user, or museum.

Once a collector always a collector. :- )

thx
Jerry

They're still around. You see their products every day - they're
pretty much the world's largest manufacturer of Fire Extinguishers.
(And have been since the 1930s).
It's now a part of United Technologies, but still operates under the
Kidde name.

The rocket motor was probably a sideline, taking advantage of Kidde's
expertise in forming small, low-mass pressure bottles.
