  American Flyer Trains from Marty's Trains - American Flyer Warehouse
The venture proved successful, and the following year the company ceased producing hardware and devoted its efforts to producing trains full-time, changing its name to the American Flyer Manufacturing Company.
Gilbert was a manufacturer of toys and small appliances, and was best known for its Erector sets, Mysto-Magic sets, and science toys.
Traditional toy manufacturers such as Gilbert were forced to cut corners to compete, and the result for American Flyer was the introduction of Pikemaster, a line of inferior quality trains.

 Interview with Ingo Hafner, Curtis 1000 Europe AG: TWST
Due to that fact that Germany became extremely expensive for manufacturing, we formed a company in Poland more than 10 years ago and today we are manufacturing nearly 90 percent of our commodities in Poland.
Hafner: One of the strongest moves is that we went public on the Frankfurt stock exchange in 1998 and we used the money from our shareholders to do more acquisitions and to continue to grow the company.
Hafner: After a period of consolidation, which we started some time last year and we expect to be complete by next year depending on the overall economy, we are certainly going to introduce some new product lines as well as the padded mailers and other items, like flexible packaging.

 overland flyer - Trains.com Forums
Hafner was an offshoot of American Flyer--William Hafner had been a co-founder of AF--and the early Overland Flyer trains looked an awful lot like the AFs of the time.
Hafner left AF in 1914 after a disagreement with his co-founder, William Coleman, although from what I have read they remained cordial for the rest of their lives.
Hafner never got the kinds of widespread distribution that its big competitors in the 1920s did, so it was always a fringe player.

 The Seattle Times: Mariners: Game of the Day: Hafner slams into history
Hafner became the first player in major-league history to hit five grand slams before the All-Star break, backing C.C. Sabathia's fourth career shutout and sending the Cleveland Indians to a 9-0 victory over the Baltimore Orioles on Friday night.
Hafner's second-inning shot off Kris Benson (9-7) padded the gaudy stats of Cleveland's hard-hitting designated hitter, who despite being ranked in the top five in the American League in nine offensive categories, won't be playing in Tuesday's All-Star Game.
Hafner, 29, is the fourth major-leaguer to hit five slams in a season, joining Mattingly and Jim Gentile of the Baltimore Orioles (1961) and Ernie Banks of the Chicago Cubs (1955), who each had five.

In 1988, C. Hafner added a modified alloy with even a higher hardness under the name Platinum S. Shortly thereafter another variation of this alloy was introduced by Johnson Matthey-Brandenberger of Switzerland, Platinum XB SP 252.
Particularly in jewelry manufacturing, where the materials used are subject to high demands, heat-treatable alloys can be used by taking advantage of these special properties.
This may be because heat treatable alloys are relatively new and not all jewelers are aware of them, or the technique of heat treating is not that well known.
