In the early 1970s, General
Manager Bliss M. Bushman led ASD's expansion as a manufacturer of mass spectrometer-based submarine atmosphere monitors and commercial products. Their Central Atmosphere Monitoring System, now in its third generation, has been standard equipment on U.S. Navy submarines for

CEC became a publicly held corporation in 1945, with Hoover selling all of his stock. Philip Fogg became
President. The name changed to Consolidated Electrodynamics Corp. in 1955, because some states required that a service engineer for an engineering company be a licensed engineer in that state.

Over the years, mass spectrometry proved to be a widely used and powerful analytical technique and a variety of laboratory instruments became available from several companies. DuPont abandoned the analytical instruments business in the late 1970s, however, CEC's mass spectrometer heritage did not

The mass spectrometer products and other analytical instrument products were separated from other product lines in a “Chemical
Instruments” marketing department sometime between 1945 and 1948 with Harold Wiley as Manager for Chemical Instruments. The Chemical Instruments Department became the

In the mid-1950s, CEC had split off a subsidiary, Consolidated
Systems Corporation, to produce custom instruments and systems. Lawrence G. Hall carried CEC mass spectrometer know-how to CSC and led their team to put the first mass spectrometer in space on a National Aeronautics and Space

Hamilton Sundstrand's Applied Instrument Technologies banner. They are deployed in the petrochemical, pharmaceutical, steel and oil refining industries, among others.
