Custodial History

After the Nordberg Manufacturing Company acquired ownership of the Busch-Sulzer Bros. Diesel Engine Company in 1946, the archives of Busch-Sulzer Diesel were stored in a basement vault of the Nordberg Company's St. Louis plant. In 1960 Richard Lytle, a graduate student at Washington University reorganized the records as part of a historical project at Nordberg. In 1963 the St. Louis division was closed and the records were moved to the Nordberg office in Milwaukee.
