Inland Fisher Guide Plant (New Jersey) : ウィキペディア英語版 | Inland Fisher Guide Plant (New Jersey) The Inland Fisher Guide Plant was a General Motors facility located in the West Trenton section of Ewing Township, New Jersey, that opened in 1938 as one of its most modern plants and was operated by the firm for 60 years. The facility was initially part of the Ternstedt division of GM's Fisher Body unit and was used to construct auto parts such as body moldings, door handles and other interior components. During World War II, the facility was converted to build torpedo bombers for the United States Navy as part of GM's Eastern Aircraft. In 1961, the plant was the site of the first industrial robot used in the United States. At the time of its closure in 1998, the plant made auto components for Delphi Automotive. The buildings on the site were demolished. By 2011 funding had been received by Ewing Township from the federal government to remediate contamination on the site in anticipation of plans to redevelop the area for commercial purposes. ==Construction== The plant was constructed at a cost of $2 million and had its groundbreaking ceremonies in August 1937 that were attended by Governor of New Jersey Harold G. Hoffman.〔Staff. ("Work Starts on Motors Plant" ), ''The New York Times'', August 19, 1937. Accessed August 11, 2011. "Ground was broken by Governor Hoffman today for the $2,000,000 plant of the Ternstedt division of the General Motors Corporation in Ewing township."〕 The plant was dedicated in November 1938 at ceremonies attended by GM Chairman Alfred P. Sloan and company president William S. Knudsen. The facility employed a crew of 1,500 when it opened in September 1938, though plans were made to double the number of employees to accommodate expectations that production would be doubled as the condition of the American economy improved in the wake of the strong Republican gains in the 1938 congressional elections, which Sloan described as being an "indication of returning common sense."〔Staff. ("NEW PLANT DEDICATED BY GENERAL MOTORS; Sloan and Knudsen Attend ceremony in Trenton" ), ''The New York Times'', November 16, 1938. Accessed August 11, 2011. "Alfred P. Sloan Jr. and William S. Knudsen, chairman of the board and president, respectively, of the General Motors Corporation, visited Trenton today for the dedication of the new plant of the Ternstedt division of the Fisher Body divisions of the General Motors Corporation, a modern factory employing 1,500 persons in Ewing Township, West Trenton."〕
