In Flemington,NJ during the war the local NAPA was called Carvers. They had a machine shop and made tank parts. I think they made the pins for the tracks. Also you can look at the M1 carbine rifle. It was made by everyone but a gun company. Some were made by Winchester but darn few. Postal meter, Saginaua stearing division. National hardware, IBM and a couple of others. The stocks were made by Timbley baby furniture comany. Remington typewriter made gun barrels and Hoover made brownig machineguns. The GM plant in Trenton,NJ built Avengers. If this country ever meeds to go into a full war footing of production we are screwed! China will bury us in nothing flat because so much has been given away. When you see that they make our army uniforms that realy breaks it! Jeffcat
