Recall in the mid 70's we ( A-C) manufactured/fabricaed a large percentage of our units. Lead time was up to one year - items like forgings, castings, mast rolled channel was very long, production of out sources items, was limited, lead time on new orders (stock or sold) was 52 weeks. Then the bottom feel out. Cancellation of order abounded. Recall one month the ITA new factory orders went negative - we had a plus 6 order month. Biggest market share month in our history - LOL
Ya' have to have a lot of gray hair and/or receding hair line to recall that period of time. Two upside down hockey sticks here.
