Information |
On February 27, 1960 the Bennington Banner published a full page "Bannercamera" article with photographs by staff writer/photographer Jon Allen of the Mack Molding Company in Arlington, Vermont. The company opened in Arlington in 1939 and by 1960 it employed over 200 people and used more than two million pounds of polystyrene a year in their various products including battery cases, piano keys, safety razor cases, and parts for refrigerators and vacuum cleaners. This photograph was not published, but a neadrly identical one (2004.688.255) was with the caption, "Machining a new mold in the Mack Molding Company's own complete tool shop is done on a 30 inch lathe by Donald Norris and Donald Coulter, both of whom aided in the building of the new giant vertical press with a 15 pound capacity. Company shapes molds in the shop for dozens of products which are injection molded under 20,000 pound per square inch pressure." |
