About this item

This memorial from the Greenfield Tap & Die Corporation in Greenfield, Massachusetts, recognizes employees killed during World War II (1939-1945). The company was the largest maker of gauges, taps, and dies in the world. Three shifts worked around the clock seven days a week producing the measuring devices that insured accurate fits for all parts produced anywhere in the country. The small town of Greenfield, located in a semi-rural area, had a surprisingly large concentration of industries vital to the war effort, and employed an estimated 7,000 workers.
