Forney Industries Welding History

INDUSTRY AND BUSINESS BEGINS WITH AN IDEA. Back in the Depres--.._""""'....""'..,.....
sion '30s, a young book salesman had an idea. In the basement of his home the
idea took shape. It was a new type of soldering iron-a spectacular "instant heat" soldering iron
that could solder through paint, oil and grease without precleaning. It cleaned as it soldered!
There were obstacles to be overcome to make a business of this new idea. Capital was
scarce in those depression days. 1400 banks failed or were seriously embarrassed. Agriculture was
characterized by unprecedented low prices, diminished incomes, increasing debts and extremely
heavy tax burdens. General business suffered a disastrous year. Despite this, the FORNEY INSTANT HEAT SOLDERING IRON was manufactured and marketed-AND was an "instant" success! In fact, 5 years after starting (1937), these irons had been sold in practically every town in
the United States.
This was the beginning of FORNEY INDUSTRIES. Tlie
inventor-salesman was Mr. J. D. Forney, who now heads the Industries' operations, which reach throughout the United States,
Canada and many foreign countries. Operations cover such diversified fields of manufacture and sales as: the Famous Forney
Welders; a complete line of related, high quality welding supplies
and accessories; "Do-it-yourself" farm equipment kits; high performance Battery Chargers for 6 and 12 volt batteries; and a
revolutionary line of power producing generators for work and
sports.
Manufactures the internationally famous Forney Aircoupe (the certified spin-proof airplane) ! Produces commercial
movies by nationally known Forney Films! Operates· a complete
printing and bindery establishment, wholesale lumber business,
as well as a Flying and Car Rental Servfoe !
ARC WELDERS IN THE FORNEY INDUSTRIES .....
One of the major Forney Industries is the ARC WELDER DIVISION, which grew out of
the Soldering Iron idea. Years ago, A.re Welding was a profession and demanded long and specialized
training, making it a costly service. With the increase of machinery equipment, especially on the
farm a more economical method of repair was sought for. Forney experimentation in this field
brought forth the FORNEY ALL PURPOSE ARC WELDER. It too, became an " instant" success,
and today has the distinction of outselling all competition in its field!
Many factors combine to make FORNEY "The Top Name in Arc Welding." First, there
is a great need-in agriculture, in commerce, in industry! Secondly, and of major importance, is
adequate facilities and backing to manufacture, distribute and
market the product. Other factors include quality materials and
workmanship, UNCONDITIONAL guarantee and warranty,
completely equipped and completely safe units.
In addition, a Welding Service giving helps and instruction in the welder's many uses, continues throughout its life. Included in the helps are plans for making many different types of
equipment, and charts on Electrodes and types of welding.
Then to insure continuous and satisfactory operation, as
well as serve the million or more welder owners, a complete line
of welding supplies of finest quality, reasonably priced, is maintained.

sizes of Forney Welding Rod and 194-page Illust rated
Instruction Manual.
SPECIAL UNITS-For many purposes
The Forney C-5BWelder-Charger. It's a Welder, FastCharger, Soldering Unit, Brazing Unit, Pipe Thawer,
in addition to having a 115-Volt outlet for electrical
appliances.
The Forney F-75 welder. A power-packed, hand-portable Arc Welder, takes little space, yet is a heavy-duty
welder. Economical, easy to operate and safe. Welding
range up to 75 amps.
Forney Battery Charger Unit for use with Forney
Modf.l C Arc Welder. Charges both 6- and 12-volt batteries.
Forney Soldering Unit. A transformer soldering outfit that gives low, medium or high heat stage soldering
from an ordinary 115-volt AC outlet.
OTHER INDUSTRIES IN THE
FORNEY ORGANIZATION

Model IG-751
Model I.
Model IG-751, at center of this grouping, is an Arc-Tron,
not a welder. An Arc-Tron is a high frequency arc stabilizer
used with a welder. In this model you have the controls for
inert gas, water cooling of the torch, and high frequency.
The answer to TIG welding process.
Model I. A 350 amp, AC welder of the industrial type.
Thirty-six heat stages, forced a ir cooling, and rugged construction makes this ideal for jobs r equiring higher heats.
Model '5KGW, the Generator-Welder, is the newest in the
Forney line. Its quick popularity was brought about by
its ability fo deliver 250 amps (AC) welding current. A flip
of the switch. changes it to a stand-by power plant delivering 5,000 watts of either 230 volt or 115 volt, 60 cycle AC
electricity. Powered by two-cylinder Wisconsin engine.
Model 5KGW
The Model A is a 300 amp, AC welder for medium indus trial
use. Fan cooled, 36 heat stages and rugged construction are
points of superioi-ity of this model, too.
Model F-100 is a 100 amp welder with 115v-230v input.
Completely equipped. Ideal for light welding, brazing soldering. Just the machine for the hobbyist.
Model AC is a 115 volt air compr essor. Efficient, quiet and
portable. Maximum pressure-150 lbs. An excellent compressor for shop or farm.
