Hi All,
out of interest, since it's been mentioned a few time here, Cressona Ordnance Plant was a defense plant in Cressona, Schuylkill County, Pa, USA.
From this April 5th 1945 document:
https://casetext.com/admin-law/day-zimmermann-inc-5
"Day & Zimmermann, Inc., a Maryland corporation, operates a plant at Cressona, Pennsylvania, where it is engaged in the reclamation, repair, and salvage of ordnance materiel which is sent to the plant from overseas and from various points within the United States.
The plant is owned by the Defense Plants Corporation and is leased to the Company. At peak production the Cressona plant processes in excess of 100,000 tons of material weekly. This material is received almost entirely from sources outside the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, and, after processing, is shipped almost entirely to points outside that State."
Below, A WW2 photo of the plant interior:
Day and Zimmerman still exist, and mention the plant in their history:
