This might be a long shot but….A few years ago there was som AC papers on EBay relating to AC’s involvement with the Manhattan Project. I remember there being a letter to the employees thanking them for their part and how the A-bomb was a massive effort that AC played a role in. I wish I would have bid on it—but thinking maybe someone on here got it. I’m trying to help the Milwaukee County Historical Society with something. Send me a PM or comment if anyone can help me out with any historical information. ------------- "Better By Design" |

Yes, I’ve been in contact with the MKE Historical Society archivist on this subject. I told him I’d reach out to the AC community about any documents out there on the subject. ------------- "Better By Design" |
