SRGW - United States - Land Fabrication Changes suggested
Posted: Sep 06 2017
* * The United States locations for Land Fabrication are all located at traditional "Fort" locations within the States,
for unknown reasons.
A lot of the Fort locations in the U.S. did not exist in 1914, that are on the Map. Changes to these will be recommended be changed (forthcoming thread).
--------------
* * Suggestion:
* DELETE ALL 'Land Fabrication" sites as currently listed in the U.S. (seven).
* Delete the Land Fabrication at X 402 Y 195, for example.
--------------
* * ADD all the following locations, which are historical locations where the majority of vehicles in 1912-14 came from under U.S. Army contracts:
- Location Vehicle Manufacturer
* CLEVELAND X 408 Y 196 White Motor Co. - 1 Land Fabrication
* ARDMORE (PA) X 443 Y 205 Autocar Company
Add: Military Complex, Barracks, 1 x Land Fabrication
* CLINTONVILLE (WI) X 374 Y 171 FWD (Four Wheel Drive) Company
Add: Military Complex, Barracks, 1 x Land Fabrication
* ALLENTOWN (PA) X 443 Y 200 Mack Mfg. Company (before it was known as Mack Truck...)
Add: Military Complex, Barracks, 1 x Land Fabrication
* SOUTH BEND (IN) X 383 Y 192 Studebaker Corp.
Add: Military Complex, Barracks, 1 x Land Fabrication
* DETRIOT (MI) X 400 Y 188 - Cadillac (GM) Corp. - delivered 1st A/C to US Army
Add: Military Complex, Barracks, 4 x Land Fabrication - Federal Motor Truck Co.
- Packard Motor Co.
- Ford Motor Co.; actually at nearby Dearborn, MI
- map too crowded to place there.
* ROCK ISLAND ARSENAL X 361 Y 194
Add: Military Complex, Barracks, 1 x Land Fabrication - QMC [Federal Government truck factory]
-------------
These were the eight major vehicle providers to the U.S. Government from 1914 through World War One.
Thanks for considering.
