DIT-MCO International

DIT-MCO International is a Kansas City, Missouri, company that designs and builds automated wiring and cable analyzers for testing wire harnesses, cables and assembled aircraft. It was founded in 1948 as the Drive-In Theatre Manufacturing Company. In 1954 its engineers George P. Heller and Warren Hannon invented the first automated wiring analyzer, the Model 200, and by 1959 the company focused only on circuit analyzers. The DIT-MCO name stayed because the military and its suppliers spoke of aircraft being "DIT-MCOed".
