Meaning of Robo-Magic Company

The Robo-Magic Company, operated by Fred T. Barry, was founded before World War II and originally manufactured appliances designed to perform repetitive household chores. At one time most Midland City residents dreamed of owning a Robo-Magic washing machine. During World War II the Robo-Magic Company converted its washing machine control mechanism design into a type of mechanism that performed the timed-interval release of bombs from American heavy bombers.
