Any records showing quantities of Remington Manufactured per month during WWII
I have been searching for the Monthly manufacturer numbers for Remington Rand and I had hit a dead end.
All I know is Remington Rand was awarded its first order on March 16th, 1942, for a total of 125,000 1911A1 pistols
In March 1943 James Rand Jr., stopped production due to a high rate of Parts Interchangeability Test failures, production finally resumed in May of 1943.
What I am looking for is
March 1942 - 203
April 1942 - 456
May 1942 - 566
June 1942 - 599 and so on..
is there anything like this type of data?

Ordnance approached Remington Rand about manufacturing the 1911A1 in March of 1942, but the first contract was dated May 22, 1942. No Remington Rands were delivered until November of 1942, with 255 delivered that month.

With Remington Rand starting production at serial number 916405, and delivering only 255 pistols in November of 1942 the range would be 916405-916559 for that month. December production would start with 916660.
This one was delivered in December of 1942, along with 5013 others.
