I did a search for Garrett Pneumatics on the web...Google gave me 345 hits.
In fact, the second hit gives this abstract:
>>>...It started when I was on my way to work at the aerospace company,
Garrett Pneumatics Systems (now Honeywell), on Friday morning. ... <<<
I have three gigs on my resume where the companies have been changed...I
still refer to the original name.
