Importance

EaglePicher is the leading of thermal battery systems to the Department of Defense. EaglePicher supplies the majority of the U.S. military's missile and precision guided munitions systems. EaglePicher's space heritage dates to the earliest days of the U.S. space program, when we powered the first U.S. satellite, Explorer I. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 35.134.170.162 (talk) 18:27, 17 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I listed Eagle Picher's importamce as top level because at one time it was second largest producer of lead and zinc products in the world and it was one of the substantive defendants in the asbestos litigation. --Bejnar (talk) 05:25, 1 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Made it high importance, no longer top now, and class=C. --DThomsen8 (talk) 11:09, 21 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
