Just a thought. I wonder if this could have been the old Telechron Building that was on the northern end of Main St. I can't recall if this is the correct name for the building, but I believe that they had something to do with the development or manufacture of clocks or other parts.

Hello list.. Does anyone have access to Centennial History of the Town of Millbury, Massachusetts, Including Vital Statistics 1850-1899 I would greatly appreciate a few lookups jay galvin
To: maworces@rootsweb.com Well, now I have good information from my aunt Doris Clark (81) on the WWII activity. She was living with several other girls in an apartment in Worcester City. She was in a team of 5 girls making Walki Talkie miniature tubes.As she had an apartment & walked to work each day, it was likely in down town area. Her part in the tube construction was to weld the 5 sections of the tube insides together before it went into the glass envelope. She said the tubes were abt 1 & 1/2 inches tall. The 5 girls were all in a row. She said they once went into a locked side room where they were supposedly making a tube for the atomic bomb project! Not to far fetched as a company in Springfield, Standard Electric Time, was making timers for atomic bomb project. She aid the girls lived on the top floor of a large house and they apt. was in a round turret shaped top floor.She remembers a large cooper tub with claw feet that she loved to stay long times in! She said it may have been a house owned by Putnams department store folks. Putnan & Thurstan? She worked there abt one yr till end of war. She now lives in Sr. home in South Dennis MA Dick in MD

Try the Worcester Historical Museum http://www.worcesterhistory.org/ They might be able to point you in the right direction if they don't have photographic collections. If you can't find the photos anywhere, I think you would have to track the businesses in the city directories, and newspapers, then see if you can find any descendants who may have the photos or know what happened to them.

That is terrible news. We go through the same things here. Depending on the State budget, the libraries get more or less funding from year to year, so things can change. I would try to look at the University libraries to see what they have. You probably can't get remote access, but you should be able to visit in person and use their facilities for research. If you need a look up, let me know. Unfortunately, the papers I can access don't go back too far, but others on this list might have subscriptions to some of the paid newspaper databases.

Hi Carlton - proquest offers various newspapers to institutions by subscription. If you have a public or university library card, check their on line databases to see what they have. The problem is the subscriptions are very expensive, so not all libraries can afford them. Also, libraries seem to subscribe to the papers that cover their local area, so you might have a problem finding New England papers in Arizona. In Massachusetts, the libraries belong to a regional system. In my region, the libraries got a grant to cover costs. I now have access to these papers, referred to as the Massachusetts News Stand, but if the money runs out, they will have to let the subscription go. Massachusetts Newsstand Berkshire Eagle 2005 - current Boston Globe 1980 - 1996; 1987- Boston Herald 1991 - current Business West (Chicopee) 1992 - current Gazette (Haverhill) 1992-1997 [full text Not Available: Oct 20, 1994 - Feb 7, 1997] Lowell Sun 2004 - current New York Times 1995 - [although this is listed in one place, it's not in the database] North Adams Transcript 2005 - current Patriot Ledger (Quincy) 1991 - current Plymouth County Business Review Sentinel & Enterprise (Fitchburg) 2005 - current Standard-Times (New Bedford) 1992 - 1997 Worcester Telegram & Gazette 1989 - current I'll be glad to look up things in this database. Anyone living in MA can get a library card to the Boston Public Library. They have heritagequest and other things. Maybe there is a large library in Arizona that offers the same type of arrangement and carries the complete proquest databases. The Boston Globe, Boston Herald , the Providence Journal, & now the Worcester Telegram have gone to Legacy.com You can search their site for obits, but if they are too old, you have to pay to get them. There is also America's Obituaries available with a subscription to genealogybank.com http://www.genealogybank.com/gbnk/obituaries.html Another pay service is http://www.newspaperarchive.com/ and another is footnote.com which offers small town newspapers You can search all these sites for free. If you find something, you could always ask for a lookup on a mailing list covering that area. Not the same as being able to search yourself, but at least it's something.

I've "rescued" an old photograph of Harry B. WALKER which was taken at the Wires Studio in Lynn, Massachusetts. The photograph appears to have been taken sometime in the 1880's with Harry likely about 8 years old at the time it was taken. In addition to his name, someone has also written the following information on the back of the photograph "21 Houghton St., Lynn, Mass" and "for Max & Don". Thanks to the assistance of a WALKER Family Researcher I was able to determine that the photo is of Harry B. Walker born 6 Sep 1882 at 9 Houghton Court, Lynn, MA. His parents were David Walker born Scotland and Flora __?__ born Maine. They were married in 1869 in Lynn, MA and had two other children, Lizzie and Samuel. Harry died in Lynn, MA in 1897. Parents David and Flora were living in Worcester, MA in 1900. I am hoping to locate someone from Harry's family so that this wonderful old photograph can be returned to its rightful place with his family. If you are a member of this WALKER Family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thank you, Shelley

Raytheon Company was most likely the place your aunt worked during World War II. She was probably on the assembly line producing Magnetron tubes. She may have worked at a Raytheon facility in the Worchester area or she may have commuted to Waltham, MA (approx. 30 miles) which was at that time the Raytheon Company headquarters and main production facility. At the beginning of the war in Europe, British scientists had developed a new high power high frequency radar tube called the Magnetron. These new tubes installed in radars on planes gave the British pilots a significant advantage in air superiority. The problem the British were facing at that time was the Magnetron could not be produced in needed quantities. They turned to the U.S. to get help from large U.S. companies like Western Electric and Bell Laboratories. Raytheon Company was not considered. Under the leadership of Laurence K. Marshall and with his confidence in employee Percy Spencer he was able to convince the U.S. government to ask the British to show the Magnetron to Raytheon for consideration as second production source. Western Electric had already opened a new facility in Chicago and was beginning to produce magnetrons. Percy Spencer a self-educated genius who had for several years been involved in the development of tubes at Raytheon took a look at the British Magnetron. The British Magnetron cavity was made by cutting away a solid piece of copper. Percy Spencer designed a new magnetron that could be mass produced by stamping the sections from sheets of copper. The sections were stacked with solder between the sections and placed in a hydrogen oven to solder the sections together forming the cavity. Spencer also made other design changes that improved the performance and the producibility of the Magnetron. The Raytheon, design which was more easily mass produced was presented to the government. The government pulled together a group of experts to review the Raytheon design. The team determined that the Raytheon Magnetron was not practicable and as a result Raytheon did not receive an order. Laurence Marshall believing in the Percy Spencer's design decided that Raytheon should produce the Magnetrons. Without government contracts it was necessary to raise finances, buy equipment and obtain a building to begin production. At the end of the war Raytheon had produced 80 percent of all the Magnetrons. The Raytheon headquarters and production facility was in Waltham in the 1940's where it occupied a building formerly used for button manufacturing. As Raytheon grew in tube, radar, communications, and missile production it expanded and took over other several vacated buildings along or near Route 128 around Boston. I worked with the Raytheon Missile Systems Division for 37 years. Projects I worked on allowed me to visit many of the Raytheon facilities in Massachusetts, the U.S. and around the world. I have not visited the Raytheon Norwich facility therefore I do not know when it was begun. It was probably making miniature tubes (started in 1939) that were used in radars and could have been involved in the production of the Magnetron tubes (started in 1940). There should be others in the Massachusetts area that will know about the Raytheon Tube Division. The Percy Spencer Power Tube Division Headquarters is in Waltham. The on-line Wikipedia encyclopedia gives a good overall history of the Raytheon Company. A detailed history of Raytheon is in the book "The Creative Ordeal - The Story of Raytheon by Otto J. Scott" published in 1974. It gives an interesting account of the personnel involved, the company and world issues during the period.
