A. O. Smith Water Heaters

Since I work for the water heater division of A.O. Smith I feel obligated to
jump in on this thread.

Over the years AOS made, invented or owned a lot of different stuff.  The
entire automotive division was sold to Tower.  My favorite was the set of
prototype fiberglass mono-leaf springs they let me test on my Ford Explorer
back in '91.  They would make a great rear spring over for my Scout if I
still had them.

Fortunately for me the rest of A.O. Smith is alive and well.  I better stop
before I get commercial here.
