Anyone know anything about this dinosaur? (TIG)

Found this site, which really does not provide much. I don't think they were "rebranded" they seemed to be an actual manufacturer.............

An Antique Birdsell Welder | Stickweld.com – welders, welding, metalworking

A partial quote..........

"When I graduated from High School in 1957 I got a job winding coils and stacking transformer cores making the transformers that were in the Birdsell welders being built at Birdsell on 750 San Antonio Rd, Palo Alto CA. Mr Birdsell also sold transformers under the name Thor Tran sformers, later on the company was sold and relocated under a different name to near El Monte Ca."
