   Does anyone have a picture of the York Works that you could post?
I have looked on-line and in all the A-C books that I have and just
couldn't find anything. I did find a nice painting of the S. Morgan Smith
Co. buildings. (The factory in York that A-C purchased)
thanks,
Dean(IA)

	Use Google Maps and check out 760 East Berlin Highway, York, PA to see the site. Voith Hydro occupies it now. It is quite a facility. I'm not sure which buildings, or parts there of, are original, but I believe many are. I was there a couple times related work we were doing on hydro turbines. They were rehabbing turbine parts we shipped there and producing new parts for the projects we were doing. A number of the large machines (rolls, Big vertical and shaft lathes, milling machines, forming presses, etc.) were there when AC was operating there from what we were told. One set of rolls there could roll 8" thick sheet of plate into a 4' diameter cylinder if I remember right. Across and back up the road a bit is kind of an odd looking building; that is where they tested models of hydro turbines.

	As a young teenager my dad bought and sold farm equipment and we went to the the farm equipment auction in New Holland PA every month. I remember seeing the Allis Chalmers sign on the side of the building. It was just south of route 30 just as you started into York PA. Tom
