Allen Bradley no longer on the Building

Rick Densing · Sep 1, 2006

I drove by the old AB clock tower building the other day.
It used to say "Allen-Bradley" on the side. Then it had a small "A Rockwell Company" below it. Soon after the two names switched places with "Rockwell Automation" on the top

Now it just says "Rockwell Automation". Nothing else. I don't know when it happened, I don't get down that way much, but I thought it would be interesting to you folks here.

Walt Boyes reported on his blog that Rockwell's stock was downgraded by some rating firm on Wednesday.

More pieces of the puzzle . . .

Is that the Clock tower affectionately refered to as the "POLISH MOON"?

It's only been 20 years since Rockwell bought Allen-Bradley Company. You figure they'd find a way to change the sign eventually, eh ?

I'll start to get nervous if they tell us they have to change the octagon tatoos on our butts.

I WAS having a good day until this disgusting visual...

Ken - I'll ask you about that at your next presentation in our area if you make another snide AutomationDirect reference. Of course I have the green smiley face on mine.

Yessir, aina!

For those that don't know. The area used to be in a largely Polish section of town. It is now mainly Hispanic.

Ken- I knew it was coming, just interesting to mark the passing.

Now that's just not right. Perhaps that octagon will be changed to a smiley

How much is Polish sausage going for today?

Can one still see the top of Sears Tower from the top of A-B tower on a clear day - or is it just a local Milwaukeean urban legend?
