Pete, let me make some additional speculation. In 1914 the war started. DWM was able to meet initial production. Production increases could have been done by increasing the hours (shifts) worked. Erfurt may have made all of the artillery frames. All of the 1916 to 1918 Erfurts have the artillery sight notch in the frame. In 1914 and 1915 Erfurt may have been producing artillery frames and barrels that supplied manufacturing at both Erfurt and DWM for the rest of the war.

The expense of moving machinery and resetting it up and making it work at high speed again would make it unlikely they moved the Erfurt machinery and then retooled ERFURT in 1915/16. And DWM is not reported to have two sets of tooling. Not reported that they did not either but Loewe was a premier machine maker, why pick up used Erfurt machinery?

Happy wakefulness

Heinz
