63 Meanwhile in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania

Two weeks had passed since Poul Nielsen left Pittsburgh for New York to oversee James Russel's fledgling electric motor manufacturing company. Since then, Jonathan Axelsen, the COO of Axelsen & Nielsen Air Brake Company, had thrown himself into their next project, the M1 Garand. Meanwhile, Amelia Weiss had been continuing her role as company secretary, managing departments that reported directly to her and then on to the founders. But lately, she had noticed a change in Jonathan's habits. He was returning to the office past midnight and waking up early in the morning to begin his day.
