Products from Federal Mogul

Federal-Mogul Corporation was founded in 1899 as the Muzzy-Lyon Company. At that time, founders J. Howard Muzzy and Edward F. Lyon sold mill supplies and rubber goods. The company's first location was on Woodward Avenue in Detroit, Michigan.

In the early 1900s, bearings were made by pouring molten babbit metals directly onto the motor block and shaping the metal to fit. To replace a bearing, a mechanic had to gouge out the old one and pour in new metal. Muzzy and Lyon believed metals could be die-cast directly into replaceable bearings of the required size and shape, so the partners bought an old printer's type casting machine and began experimenting. Their die cast machine became so successful that they stopped selling mill supplies and began selling automotive bearings and metal projects.The Buick 10 was one of the first cars to use parts produced by Mogul Metal. In 1910 Buick had placed an order for 10,000 connecting rod bearings for this automobile.
