On the Glass Board, Carl is talking about "leftover" Army trucks, etc. When I first moved to this area in 1950, we drove over to West Point one day and I was amazed to see ships lined up for probably at least a mile along the west side of the Hudson River. I was told that these were ships that the navy didn't need any more, and they were either up for sale, or used for spare parts. Over time the ships disappeared, either sold, or used for other purposes. Must have been at least 50 of them when I first saw them.
Now they could put them on Ebay or Craig's List, I suppose.
