    Chances are you have played with a gyroscope at some point in your life.
    More than likely, it was a Chandler gyroscope. For over 70 years the Chandler Company of Indianapolis, Indiana, produced and sold virtually tens of millions of gyroscopes all over the country. In 1982
    TEDCO, Inc.
    purchased the Chandler Company. Since then, the toy line has expanded and sales are now global.
    TEDCO
    was first established as a research & development company by the late Ralph Teetor. Mr. Teetor was a well-known and highly respected inventor who started
    TEDCO
    (Teetor Engineering Development Company) as a vehicle to foster his inventions. His most renowned accomplishment is the "cruise control" on your automobile.
    Mr. Teetor was blinded at an early age, yet he did not allow his lack of sight to hinder his creative genius. He was president of the former Perfect Circle Corporation and was inducted posthumously into the Automotive Hall of Fame.
    Today,
    TEDCO
    is owned by Mr. Teetor's daughter, Marjorie Teetor Meyer, and the Meyer family along with some
    TEDCO
    employees. Most of
    TEDCO
    's direction has been turned over to the employees with a new emphasis on manufacturing scientific and educational toys
    like the
    TEDCO Gyroscope
    Located in the heart of Middle America, the people of
    TEDCO
    are committed to developing top quality toys that, in the spirit of Ralph Teetor, promote creativity, education, and fun
