mattb73lt Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 I was going to suggest the same thing. It would stand to reason that if they were built here and shipped to Australia, that some sort of record would exist. If the were built in Australia, then they might be there, also. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phildirt Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Bad News: The early Australian Mack records were disposed of into the dumpster during one of the many changes in Mack ownership; Good News: The records were saved by a private individual and are still in existence and may be available. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted September 10, 2023 Share Posted September 10, 2023 Well, that’s encouraging news for them. Anyway, one of these days I’m gonna get the history on mine. Nice to know they are available for mine. Thanks for the post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1958 F.W.D. Posted September 15, 2023 Share Posted September 15, 2023 I can absolutely confirm that the Museum did acquire records from Mack Australia a few years back in the form of 10 or 15 cabinets, containing hundreds of thousands of record cards. (Helped move them to the second floor records room.) Don't know if they are indexed or not or whether the museum has the capability to read them or not. 2 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As stated, not sure if they are indexed or if the museum even has the capability of reading the punch card information. All in all, the cabinets probably contain several hundred thousand cards. 1 Quote TWO STROKES ARE FOR GARDEN TOOLS Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
