 Topic: We Work for Victory and We Plan For Peace
Posted: Yesterday at 1:09pm |
I am working on scanning the items I've been collecting over the years. This one is by far the most intriguing. It came in the original envelope (This is a BIG booklet) I'll be uploading more to by blog. Check back soon. https://theweekendhistorian.com/2025/12/28/a-c-goes-to-war/

Few remember the industrial giant that was Allis-Chalmers. From sawmill, wheat grinding, cement machinery to farm equipment - they were instrumental in the success of our nation. The war time production of superchargers for piston driven aircraft engines is one of the most overlooked products of our wartime effort. Later the development of hydrogen to electricity powered our space effort and the electrical division and later the nuclear power generation was landmark as well. The simple multi strand v-belt - Textrope- put us decades ahead in power transmission. The lists of products and innovations have filled books. One key reason for it's demise was they had much better engineers than salesmen and lobbyist.

Allis-Chalmers produced more equipment by weight for the Manhattan Project to develop the atomic bomb than any other company--at one point, even hosting the President of the United States himself. This was a quote from a news broadcast.
