1911's have an interesting history. They were originally manufactured "loose as a goose" so that parts could be mixed and matched with the resulting firearms still functioning reliably. One of the original ordinance tests was to take several guns that had been manufactured by different companies, and had been fired, disassemble them, drop the pile of parts into a bucket of solvent, then clean the parts and assemble the guns with random parts. Apparently this was common field practice in the day. If you could hold a 3" group at 50' with these mongrels, you were doing well.

Later on, smiths tightened up the tolerances on privately owned civilian examples and soon after the National Match & Gold Cup variants emerged. If you didn't hold a 1" group with these, it was probably your fault.

Several years after the 1911 came out, it's inventor, John M Browning, was hired to build another military handgun over in Europe. It was based on the 9x19mm Luger cartridge. His biggest challenge was evading the patents that Colt held for his earlier design. His biggest innovation was the cam path follower that replaced the toggle link in the 1911. The 13 shot magazine capacity was also noteworthy. Prototypes were working as early as 1921, but it was still not yet fully refined when Browning passed on in 1926. A local engineer put the finishing touches on that project after his passing and the Browning Hi Power was put into production. They were produced in massive numbers at a FN facility in Herstal Belgium. The plant was old technology with each machine tool making a single cut, but it was kept in operation for many decades. Now, that gun, and it's close cousins (clones) are made by more modern processes.

Both the 1911 and 1921 designs are some of my all time favorite handguns. They fit in my hand much better than many of the modern guns.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
