"Otto W. Heise started the Heise Bourdon Tube Company in the late 1920s and moved it from Bridgeport to Newtown a few years later. He set up shop in a colonial home near his own home on Brushy Hill Road. There, he developed a line of pressure gauges that became the premier pressure measurement tools in the world. In 1961, he built the South Main Street facility to accommodate the massive amount of business he picked up from the aerospace and ship building industries. In 1967 he built an addition, complete with a domed observatory with a powerful telescope that allowed him to gaze at the same heavens that NASA was watching with the help of Mr Heise's gauges. Mr Heise died at age 77 in 1972. Dresser Industries, Inc., of Dallas, Texas, purchased his company the following year." (Source: Newtown Bee)
