This 1942 patriotic advertisement from the Greenfield Recorder-Gazette newspaper in Greenfield, Massachusetts, boasts of the Greenfield Tap & Die Corporation’s (GTD) pledge to supply America with the tools it “so badly needs in its great war effort.” At the height of World War II, almost 4,000 people were employed at GTD. Three shifts worked around the clock, seven days a week, producing these measuring devices that ensured an accurate fit for all parts produced anywhere in the country.
