This book tells how a small division of General Motors in a small Indiana town went from making radios and voltage regulators for GM in 1964 to double its sales in 1980, producing 28,000 engine control computers a day. With General Motors making air-bags and anti-skid brakes standard on all GM cars, Delco Electronics had sales of 5.5 billion dollars per year by 1990, with operations worldwide.
