During September and October 1973, the period under consideration, the principal office of Tayko was located at Elder Creek, California, while its production facility was located at Rancho Cordova, California, about six miles away. Company president, John Taylor, officed at Elder Creek, while production manager, Ken White, was in charge at Rancho Cordova.
