About this item

This 1953 advertisement from the Greenfield Recorder-Gazette in Greenfield, Massachusetts, lists the types of parts and products the Parts Manufacturing Company of that town produced from 1940 through 1953. The company innovated a highly specialized process to apply a unique finish to valve train parts. The innovation contributed greatly to the Pratt & Whitney Aircraft Plant’s guarantee of “dependable engines.” During World War II (1939-1945), employees at the Parts Manufacturing Plant worked around the clock to supply Pratt & Whitney with trainloads of finished parts.
