This machine was originally shipped to Frank E Jones in LA & sold to Production Pattern in LA (3165 E Slauson Ave) in 1943. The box of accessories that came with it was marked with a tag and the initials WSCP. There are two potential interpretations, Warrior Capability Sustainment Program, or Wireless Communications and Signal Processing. Both possibilities can be associated with Lockheed Martin. So there is a distinct possiblity that this planer was part of the war effort. The history after that is fuzzy, but it went to Colorado and was sold in an auction and went to Kansas where I eventually got it.
