Honeywell orphans crash test dummies

HoneywellInternational announced Wednesday that it will sell its FirstTechnology Safety Systems unit, which provides integrated crash testing solutions (including an extended family ofcrash test dummies), to a European private investment group for $87.3 million.

FTSS is based in Plymouth,Michigan and is a subsidiary of First Technology plc. Acquisition of theU.K.-based parent company by Honeywell was completed just last week, for $508 million. Unfortunately for the dummies,Honeywell bought First Technology for its gas sensing business, not its automotive operations.

FTSS's crashbusiness is pretty interesting, actually. Their website is worth aquick look if you're the technologically curious type.
