After seeing Calvin's extensive Allis Chalmers library back in the summer, it appears my brother and I were both inspired when it came to getting Christmas gifts for each other... http://s526.photobucket.com/user/szalmyr/media/DSC04489_zpspaztdpqr.jpg.html" rel="nofollow">  I received Dean's new "Better by Design" book, and I gave my brother a good used copy of "An Industrial Heritage" - very hard to find as it has been out of print for many years. The best part came upon opening the front cover of the Industrial Heritage book, was a letter dated 1979 on Allis Chalmers letterhead from then vice-president Charlie Parker ... http://s526.photobucket.com/user/szalmyr/media/AC%20Letter_zpstxl3apoq.jpeg.html" rel="nofollow">  I would love to find out more about the thermometer that is mentioned, but that original letter is just awesome! Not to be overlooked, Dean's book is also very good. I will definitely buy the third book when it comes available. Hope everyone's Christmas is as good as ours! ------------- '49 G, '54 WD45, '55 CA, '56 WD45D, '57 WD45, '58 D14, '59 D14, '60 D14, '61 D15D, '66 D15II, '66 D21II, '67 D17IV, '67 D17IVD, '67 190XTD, '73 620, '76 185, '77 175, '84 8030, '85 6080 |

Nice ! I looks like Santa arrived just in time at your house. I must get the Series II book. When you start reading 'An Industrial Heritage' you will find it hard to set down. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |
