Those pictures are great! It's interesting to study them in detail and pick out variations in the stocks, etc. I notice by the cars pictured, that some were taken during the post-war period. There's quite a cross section of employees too, some noticeably handicapped (maybe even a few blind persons) but doing their small part to aid the war effort. From what I've seen prior to this, I was under the impression that the older building was Plant 4. From what I see here, it looks like it was Plant 2, and the newer one was Plant 4 - that makes more sense. Also, I think I see my 3.8M IBM Carbine on one of those racks! Thanks! - Bob

Reason: IBM is a 3.8 not 5.8

Bob I unsnapped the strap, I do not think it has ever been undone before; you can see some finish wear on the stock under the snap area. It is stamped with what appears to say IBM 1944; it is not very clear as it looks like the ink stamp bled a bit.

Bob I agree, IBM has always been big on being an EOO. It's makes you proud as an American to see the efforts from individuals of that period working hard and pulling together for a common goal. IBM produced 2,000 carbines per day.
