The C.A.M. Manufacturing Company (Also known as simply C.A.M.), later known as Camcone Products, Incorporated (or simply Camcone), was a Ross, CA, and later San Rafael, CA-based manufacturer of firefighting equipment, such as hose nozzles, as well as various models of outdoor warning and vehicular sirens, founded by Conrad Peter Meussdorffer, Jr. in 1924.

History

(wip, not sure if this is fully accurate. will update if it isn't)

C.A.M. was founded in 1924 by Conrad Peter Meussdorffer, Jr., the son of architect Conrad Alfred Meussdorffer, who the company lent its name to. They started out manufacturing 18" outdoor warning sirens, which saw relative success in California and the greater western United States, and would expand their lineup as the years went by. The company only employed 2-4 people during its history. C.A.M. would go on to produce fire hose nozzles and various other equipment for fire departments in the early-to-mid-1930s. C.A.M. would end up being sold to the Santa Rosa Nozzle Co. in the late 1950s and would rename it to Camcone Products, Inc., with the business moving to San Rafael. Soon after, the Santa Rosa Nozzle Co. would be sold to a Sacramento-based firm, who would later dissolve the company, and by extension, C.A.M. as well.
