Continental
Controls Corporation was originally co-founded in 1968 by the current
president of the company, Ross Fisher. The company established a
prominent place in the gas turbine industry by developing speed and
temperature monitors and then fuel control modules used primarily with
Solar Turbine engines. These controls became known as Solar "Black
Boxes."
In the early 1970’s CCC developed innovative electronic
controls for Gas Turbine Compressor applications, a Generator Set
Control system that became known as a KS Gen Set and was in more than
350 locations by telephone companies, and a very early control system
for reciprocating engines. Mr. Fisher was responsible for the design and
development of all of the CCC products during this time.
In 1979 CCC was sold to The Bendix Corporation but continued
to operate as Continental Controls / Bendix. In 1989 Mr. Fisher left
Bendix and acquired the rights to the Continental Controls name as well
as the rights to manufacture the Black Box products that he had
developed. CCC now continues to offer the "Black Boxes" both new and
refurbished, as well as the latest in turbine control systems and
advanced gas and liquid fuel metering valves. |
