This shop was in U-1 at the Phila. Huntingpark Ave. plant. In 1951 the Budd Co. Was making the turrets for the Patton tank at this plant and a 1/4 million square feet building was built on Fox St. For the manufacture of the turrets. In 1954 when the contract ended they moved all tooling construction into this empty plant which was designated U-6 but everyone referred the tool & die shop as "the tank plant". At one time it was the largest T&D plant in the US.

I LOOOOVE to see pix of Americans Working.
Back when we used to...
Sorry.
Back when it cost my Dad $60 for four stitches in my knee AND the tetanus shot.
That was a while ago...one might even say in a lost age.
We grow too soon old and too late shmart.
