Description
Arthur C. Newby, Edward C. Fletcher and Glenn Howe, with a $5,000 investment, started what was to become the Diamond Chain Company by forming The Indianapolis Chain & Stamping Company on December 24, 1890. They took the diamond as their trademark because it symbolized perfection and served as a constant reminder of their endeavor.In its humble beginnings, The Indianapolis Chain & Stamping Company (IC&SC) specialized in bicycle chain. As one of the first companies in the United States to produce bicycle chain, IC&SC prospered, outgrowing its original quarters and moving to larger facilities in 1892.From December 17, 1903, when Diamond chain was used on the Wright brothers' first flying machine, to the present, Diamond Chain has been a major supplier of chain not just for aircraft, but for power transmission and product conveying throughout manufacturing industries.
