Engravers bailed??? And what does that have to do with case coloring?

Yes, during the depression, employment at Meriden was at a low, but so was gun production.
Why would anyone during a depression bail? If jobs were available, people kept them.

And, not to mention, there is documentation that Ilion was having a hard time getting correct colors on Parkers after the 1938 move. They had to consult with former Meriden employees like JP Hayes to get the process right.
So... Why would Ilion be doing Meriden's coloring in 1935?
