In many cases, machine tools were subjected to major conversions. The task of reconversion will be a tremendous One-both costly and time-consum- ing.
 we have sold our buildings in Waterbury, as they could not pos sibly be made suitable for post war mass-precision methods which we deem essential in order to main- tain our position in the industry.
 When we built our new plant in Middlebury, we planned to en- large it after the war and to trans fer all our activities from Waterbury to the Middlebury plant. However, our plans in this direction have been delayed by the refusal of the Middlebury Board of Zoning Ap- peals to approve our plans for completing the building. My pel- Son8l opinion is that this can be only a temporary delay. but-acting qn behalf of this company-I feel we have to proceed as though we Nill be definitely stopped. and this will mean a considerable waste of york and money"

Middlebury tract we were requested by an adjacent landowner - speak ing for himself and others - to de- fer building while an effort was made to find us an equally suitable site in another town. We agreed to and did defer the starting of our building for approximately 8 month while negotiations were carried on. Our neighbor found tract of land in a nearby town which was &C., ceptable to us, but the acreage was larger and the price approximately $30,000 higher than We had paid for the Middlebury tract. Finally, we even agreed to absorb $23, 900 of this $30,0O0 increase and give our neighbor a deed to our Middlebury tract at the price we had paid for it ($236 per acre). But, our neighbor and his group wanted us to absorb the entire $300oo additional for the proposed tract, and this we refused to do. Negotiations were then term- mated, and we proceeded with our Slilding."
