The booklet will include the history of the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Company,precursor to the John Deere Tractor Works,and may address questions about the factory such as: • What was manufactured at the factory and how did the product fit into the larger Deere&Co. corporate structure? • How did the physical layout of the factory change over time and what environmental features played a role? • Why did the buildings take the shape they did in relation to the functions?How did the buildings change over time in form, scale, and/or materials? • How did the factory buildings work together(addressing relevant machinery and its relationship to the industrial processes)? Particular subjects and eras of history that might be addressed include: • Development of gasoline engines at the turn of the 20th century; • Acquisition of the Waterloo Gasoline Engine Co. by John Deere, 1918; • The tractor's role in modernizing agriculture, 1910-1950; • The factory during World War II(war effort production,workforce changes); • Labor history at the factory, post WWII; • Technological evolution of the production process; • The impact of the John Deere Tractor Co. on the history of Waterloo. The booklet is anticipated to be from about 16 to 36 pages in length and will include, as available, historic and current photographs,maps, and drawings that will illustrate and complement the historical text.
