Scope and content
On March 7, 1968, three men in technician coats operated large pieces of machinery at Precision Machine Works, 2101 Pacific Ave. The company had moved to larger quarters across the alley from its older building in the fall of 1965. The local Tacoma company was founded in 1925 by Ed Gazeki to build machine products needed by the timber industry. In the 1940's, they branched out to include products needed by the shipyards. In 1955, they turned their resources to machining products for the aerospace industry and made Boeing one of their largest customers. Precision Machine Works was named the 1999 Tacoma Small Business of the Year. Photograph ordered by Precision Machine Works. (www.pmwinc.com)
