Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Inland Manufacturing Division of General Motors was organized in 1922 for the manufacturing of wood-wrapped steering wheels. Their location in Dayton, OH included the buildings of the then defunct Dayton Wright Airplane Company with the shape of one of the buildings becoming part of the Inland logo.
In November 1941 Inland became the second of what would eventually become ten companies contracted by U.S. Army Ordnance to produce the U.S. Caliber .30 Carbine. Inland was instrumental in the early years before mass production in perfecting the Winchester design. Inland was the first of these companies to start mass production and one of only two who continued until the end of carbine production in August 1945. Inland manufactured over 2,630,000 carbines, more than three times any of the other manufacturers. They were the only company to manufacture the folding stock Model M1A1 Carbine and one of only two companies to manufacture the select-fire Model M2 Carbine.
After WWII Inland returned to manufacturing automotive parts for GM. The Inland Manufacturing Division of General Motors was eventually merged with other companies and finally passed into history in 1999. The buildings that had housed Inland were demolished between March and June 2014. The Wright Airplane Company hangars were spared due to their historical significance.
The carbines manufactured by the Inland Division of General Motors during WWII were, and still are, the most commonly encountered U.S. Carbines manufactured under contract to U.S. Army Ordnance.
