Guidance Technology, Inc.
Guidance Technology, Inc. (GTI) was the former Summers Gyroscope Company. Floyd Odlum bought it from Atlas in 1960 and renamed it in 1961 [S1]. From 1967 it housed Thomas Townsend Brown's electrokinetic and plasma-loudspeaker work. Odlum's "Brown & GTI" files run to 1970, when GTI was in "financial difficulties" and facing a lawsuit [S1]. Paul Schatzkin says the Nassau Group had a hand in placing Brown there [S2].
