interesting side note...
In my hometown of Aberdeen South Dakota, there was (still is?) a company called K.O.Lee Manufacturing.? Anyway, during the war years they made tools for making tools... Surface grinders, cutting tools, etc. A gentleman who was a customer of mine in his latter years, was the foreman of the machining shop during the war years. One particular statement of his that I remember pretty well was: "We had the second highest clearance for procuring material in the country, we were just under the manhattan project for materials acquisition." Machine shops were pretty important! As was the items they churned out... Best to all, til...lat'r...GT
