Douglass family papers (MS 14)

Lloyd Douglass (1912-1984) worked as an apprentice in the Metallurgy Laboratory at the Saco-Lowell Shops in Biddeford in the years leading up to WWII.

This collection includes plans, workshop books, and mettalurgy texts; it is particularly good at showing the tightly controlled business practices employed by SLS during the lean years of the Great Depression.
