Quality Assurance defines Simpson Electric
products in today’s market.The word “quality”
became Simpson’s byword in the instrument
industry when, in 1927, Simpson’s founder, Ray
Simpson, built the mechanism for the earth
inductor compass; the same compass used by
Charles Lindbergh when he flew the "Spirit of St.
Louis" on the first non-stop solo flight across the
Atlantic Ocean. For thirty-three hours,
Lindbergh's life and his success depended
largely on Ray Simpson’s navigational
instrument.
