One of my clients worked at the armory from 1937-1966, I work in Springfield Mass.

I went over his house the other night and he gave me a USGI 3 ring binder with all kinds of purchase info in it.

The two things that I found interesting was some references to the XM21 and the paperwork sent to TRW for the cancelation of their contract.

I also got a tape made of him talking to the SA historian in 1987.

I'm one of those guys who reads the obits each day. A couple of years ago I was reading an obit and it said the departed had worked as an engineer at Springfield Armory during WWll. If I had only know he lived in the area I would have called him up and asked him if you would like to share the wealth of his experience while at Springfield Armory. I'm sure many of these people would be happy to find someone who was interested in their field of endevor.
