I read where the jaws came from the Kirsh Foundry - did they put any foundry marks on them? I wonder if they were sent back to ATC for final fitting or if they were modified and assembled locally. I don't think there are foundry marks but I believe the jaws came from the foundry with two large casting lugs on top of each jaw. (like in this pic.) All the Isle Royal jaws had those lugs ground off. From the info I got with the traps it states that the Isle Royal team replaced the jaws on Newhouse #4 ATC raised pan traps and had to drill the Mech jaws to fit the jawposts. If the Kirsh foundry is in Wisconsin, that could be correct.. nice trap !!!

Had to rewrite several chapters to avoid legal complications. Copyright protection & infringement laws are very complex and far reaching...I had no idea.
