No, Springfield was the Champion Reaper works. Weber Wagon was in the
Chicago area and became a part of IH a year ot two after the formation of
IH. I believe that the Weber Works was also demolished in the past
couple years also although it had been sold long ago.

Thanks Howard, somehow those signals got crossed(maybe before they reached
me!). There is a line drawing of the Champion works circa late 1800's in
the IH farm equipment product history book, it is massive for the day.
