Quite frankly, we are in no position to better John's original work. Instead, we have taken the approach of attempting to augment his article with additional detail and supplemental information. What follows is John Eargle's original article in six parts with illustrations and additional information linked to the appropriate references. Early Years - The story of Jim Lansing's formative years in the Midwest and move to California. Lansing Manufacturing - A history of Jim Lansing's first company from its inception to its merger with the All Technical Services Corporation (Altec) Altec Lansing - A description of Jim Lansing's involvement and accomplishments at Altec. Founding JBL - A recounting of the formation of JBL and it's early struggles. JBL to 1981 - A history of the accomplishments of the company under the direction of Bill Thomas, and later, Harman International.
