This FBI file concerns Otis T. Carr's Baltimore company, OTC Enterprises, which promoted a claimed 'free energy' mechanism and gravity motor. The records span 1957 and 1958 and include FBI letterhead memoranda, name-check material, field-office correspondence, and an account from an applicant who questioned the company's legitimacy and described efforts to sell stock. A magazine associate editor reported that Carr's purported device could draw energy from surrounding space for rocket propulsion, and the FBI noted the information for possible dissemination to the Department of Defense. The file also reviews bureau records concerning Carr associate Norman Evans Colton, including earlier allegations involving bad checks, impersonation, government contracting, and declined prosecutions.
