Interesting thread on another long gone manufacturing company in the USA. Got curious if their plant survived in Cambridge. Part of it is still there, and look to be loft apartments. Google Earth has a 3D rendering of the factory, with the smaller of the two buildings showing in 3D, but that part has been gone for quite a while.

Practical Machinist also has a nice thread about the plant:

Rick, is that your thread over there? If so, THANK YOU for all of the information that is there. Now I'm off to search for the Winter Brothers Tap and Die building in Wrentham MA to see if it is still there.

Industrial archeology, a hobby in itself. Combine it with an interest in model railroading, and there is all kinds of interesting information to digest.

Regards,

Jerry
