History/Stories/Articles

This is a new page that has been created to help improve organization on the site.

There are several written histories about F.E. Olds and Son as well as newspaper articles and interviews with former employees that Alan Rouse compiled in the original version of the Olds Register. Now that we are more then 25 years after the Olds plant in Fullerton was closed, there are not many former Olds employees to add information about Olds, but as new entries come into the Olds Register, often the owner of the instrument will have some interesting history, so I’ve started to develop these stories and add them to the collection of interviews.

There are now three separate pages on the site for this information:

Histories – written histories about F.E. Olds and Son

Interviews and Stories – former employees and owners of Olds instruments

Newspaper articles
