Latham Superchargers were designed in the mid-50's. About 600 were produced from 1955 to 1965. I believe production stopped in 1965.

Smaller versions are still being manufactured in Simi Valley, CA, by AXIAL FLOW ENGINEERING (www.axialflow.com).

Latham Superchargers are actually pretty rare. I own one. The ones shown on the "infamous" Camaro in this thread have one air intate at the front of the supercharger...... Mine is so rare, it has two air intakes. If anyone is interested, I'll post a photo.
