Sad sight

By the way, the Inland plant that produced carbines is on the near west side of Dayton, just off 3rd St. It is clearly visible from US Rt 35. It is still standing, by vacant.

Back in the early 50's there was a factory in Sandusky Ohio called APEX. At that time they were making parts for the Browning air cooled machine gun. Both my Mother and Father worked there. Today most of the building is gone and what is left probably shouldn't be it is in such bad repair. In the early 80's the company I worked for rented space there and if you looked in all the nooks and crannies you could still find the occassional mg part.
