"Executives Examine Exhibits at Arms Show," Windsor Star. October 21, 1943. Page 5.
----
DURING the afternoon is an excellent time to visit the Windsor War Production Show. Between the hours of 1 p.m. and 7 p.m. the crowds are not so great and more time can be spent in examining the various exhibits. Above, left to right, are: Mr. W. R. Campbell, president, Ford Motor Company of Canada, Limited, with Mr. A. D. Harris, in charge of engineering for the company.
They are examining a bogey assembly for a Universal Carrier. Below, Mr. Malcolm G. Campbell, president, Kelsey Wheel Company, Limited, is looking over the company's fine exhibit of war material at the show, including the wheel for a Lancaster bomber complete with tire. The big wheel weighs 690 pounds with tire. The smallest wheel in the exhibit weighs 18 ounces.
