On ebay I saw for sale a reproduction ad by Tempotool of The Stemco Corporation dated May 27, 1948. It appeared in Vol. 118, p. 308 of Engineering News-Records publication. According to the ad, "The production line for the brilliant new Tucker automobile winds for almost 26 miles through their huge Chicago plant. A chain-drag conveyor had to be installed for this entire distance anchored to the concrete floor every 4 feet." Further according to the ad Tucker turned to the Tempotool method of fastening. This is just one bit of knowledge that needs to be recorded. Before I joined the club I thought my birth year of 1948 was only to be known historically as the year Israel became a nation again in modern times and the year President Truman won the office of President of the US by an election ( I still love the mistake made by the press that "Dewey Defeats Truman"). Now being in this club makes me realize that 1948 should equally as important be known as the year of the Tucker Automobile! Charles D. Barnette
