The company's beginnings trace back to 1904 when Clarence Spicer decided to leave Cornell University, where he was studying engineering, and try his luck in business. The success of Spicer's company, which was initially housed in the corner of a New Jersey printing press, depended heavily on his patent for the first practical universal joint for the powering of an automobile. Charles Dana, an attorney, politician, and financier, came onboard and the company took off.
