If you mean *this* Michael, not even a scrap except notes taken during
discussions.  It's one of the areas I have to dig into during the
Grand Tour.

I do know that Foote, Pierson & Co was a manufacturing subsidiary that
handled what the main floor couldn't (and I am certain had an
interlocking board with A.R.C. ... :-) ) along with one or two other
lesser ones.  I'm still unsure who did what aside from those two but,
again, that's part of the pending adventure.

During the 1934 reorganization, RFL went under A.R.C. where the
positions had been reversed prior to that.  The management shift put
A.R.C. at the top of the food chain rather than just being an
installation and maintenance operation as they were when first
incorporated.  At that time, RFL did the designs, Stromberg Carlson
did the building under contract (which was the beginning of a long
relation between the companies) and A.R.C. performed the
aforementioned tasks.  The original parent company (American Bakelite?
 Something Bakelite anyway) was undergoing its own problems and became
a non-entity as far as A.R.C. was concerned around 1934 which
eliminated that part of the structure.

If someone wants to send me coies of paperwork, I would be happy to
add it to my notes for the new book.  :-)
