Wow, been a while since I've posted on the forum.

I am hoping someone on here might have some info or know who acquired some Allis-Chalmers documentation relating to the Manhattan Project on Ebay around 2013-2014. I remember it was a letter that AC sent to employees essentially telling them that they were part of a large network of people helping to build the atomic bomb, and that it had been used on Japan.

Regretting that I didn't put a bid on it. Hoping someone on here got it, or knows who got it. I would love to see copies of it.

Send me a PM

Austin

Can't help you on that one. Change subjects-trivia. Nikola Tesla was employed by Allis Chalmers from1919 until 1922. Who knew.

Be interesting to know what he did there.

Interesting enough I think Allis also had a hand in the Philadelphia project I read somewhere.
