Doctoral Thesis with narratives, data lists and bibliography on New England arms manufacturers. "This study was made during World War II and as a result certain papers, most notably the Colt Collection at the CHS, were closed. Thus the work cannot be considered definitive. Nevertheless, it is a first-class scholarly study, with full apparatus. It includes numerous charts and graphs of the economics of arms manufacturing. The small-arms industry is defined as "factory production of weapons carried on the person." (p.7n) The study covers the Valley from New Haven(CT) north to Springfield (MA), and includes Norwich(CT)." NOT KEPT AT STORE- order a day ahead of time for in- store pickup
