Re: \"Tool Chits\"

Are there any tool checks known for the Twin Cities assembly plant? I would like to get my hands on one of those since that is where my car was produced.

When I started working (1961) at a General Motors Division in Dayton OH, they also called them tool checks.....Bob L

Re: \"Tool Chits\"

Reminds me of when I was an apprentice at the GE Riverworks plant in Lynn Massachusetts. Some unsuspecting "newbie" would be sent to the tool crib to check out a "size 3 uterus borer". Of course, the guy in the crib would play along and tell the kid it was over in building 32 and send him over there. The guy in building 32 would do the same and by the time somebody clued him in the poor kid had spent half a day tromping all over the plant!

When I started at the Rouge Plant in 1965 I was issued 6 tool checks with the same number as My badge. When you took a tool from the crib you left a check and got it back upon its return. Different buildings Had different letters as there were twelve plants in the Rouge. Dave

Yes, there are Twin Cities Ford Assembly Plant and multiple Iron Mountain tool tags.
The Iron Mountain ones occasionally show up on eBay.
The Twin Cities -- you have to be in the right place at the right time to find those.

Interesting that there is no employee number on it.

I have collected a number of both badges & tool chits that are unstamped. They are rarer but not impossible to find.
