    1. [GABIBB] Re: WWII Ammunition Plant
    2. This is a Message Board Post that is gatewayed to this mailing list. Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/an/Ea.2ADI/753.1 Message Board Post: The name of ammunition plant in Macon during World War II was "Reynolds Corp" which was under government contract to assemble bomb fuses; plus they also made detanators and tracers. Unknown as to how many people were employed there, but quite a number of people were employed. The plant was located on Guy Paine Road - just off Houston Ave & Broadway. My mother and her sister both worked there during World War II (1942-1944) and the above information came from my aunt who is in her 80's. The plant later opened by Maxson Corp and made seat belts, I believe, for Volkswagen...but that was in 70's or 80's.
