Thank you, I was curious if it was the same plant. Must have been the Lima Locomotive works then. They eventually merged with General Machinery Corporation Locomotive of Hamilton Ohio, and then eventually these merged with the Baldwin Locomotive Works and became the BLH Corporation. Then later BLH started to primarily build construction machinery. There is some interesting history at that plant besides the military history. Bet there are 6 generations of same family iron workers there who have worked in that same plant. :)

After World War One it was thought Weapons builders were the cause of war—So we sank our battleships for peace. After the fall of the USSR we thought the world had changed and there would be no more wars. A guy wrote a book: “The End of History” pointing to One world, a UN controlled would without need for Armies or Navies. Human history was changed. Peace in our time! Too bad Russia and China had not read the book.
