The Engine Before Cox - America's First .049 That Vanished
In the 1950s, the Herkimer Tool and Model Company was making 1,000 OK Cub engines a day. It was the first machine millions of American boys ever owned. But by 1964, the factory at 78 Harter Street went quiet. They didn't lose to their famous rival, Cox Manufacturing, or their Cox Babe Bee engine. They were destroyed by a single business deal with Comet. This is the documentary of the OK Cub, Charles Brebeck, and the fatal mistake that killed a giant.
