Immediately upon the surrender of Japan, in August, 1945, all of the war production contracts, with the exception of the con¬ tracts covering the production of diesel-powered lift trucks for the U. S. Navy and for certain special self-propelled gun carriages, were cancelled. As of Nov. I, 1945, war orders totaling approximately $547,000 were still'uncancelled, but the company is unable to make any representation: as to when or if such orders will be cancelled., Up to Nov. 1, 1945, the company had submitted termination claims, other than under cost-plus-fixed-fee contracts, aggregating $131,000, of which $117,000 had been paid as of said date;, leaving an unpaid balance of $14,000, and the company expects to submit additional such termination claims, aggregating at least $650,000. The settlement of all such claims involves negotiations with governmental agencies, and the company cannot predict when; such claims will be paid or whether they will be allowed in full.

Beginning in 1944 the company produced five hundred deisel-powered automotive lift trucks for the United States Navy Department.
