The Ball's were father and son and grandson. Franklin Harvey Ball was the steam engine guy, his son Frederick Ossian Ball, known as F.O. Ball (not F. A.) helped him. F.O.'s son, my grandfather was Thomas Mueller Ball, this is the Tom Ball mentioned above. Thomas Mueller Ball was born in 1898 in Plainfield N.J. He had a large number of patents with Chrysler Corp. He died in 1964 from a heart attack while in St. Louis on a visit to Carter. My dad J. T. ball has the patent for the steering column lock. The company was winding down by the time my father retired in 1980 and my brothers did not continue in the auto industry. If you have any questions, my father is still alive and is 93 years old.
