I know their plant in Chicago (Hegewisch) produced them. But did they have any other plant(s)/location(s) that prodcued AFVs during WWII? Could the Chicago plant have made them all?

That is the only plant I know of that made AFVs. I believe that PSC also made artillery carriages or the like, but not sure where.

Excellent - thanks! That is absolutely amazing that they churned out all those tanks from just that one plant.
Just did a quick sanity check on the numbers for the M4A1(76)W where they built 3426 from Jan 44' - June 45.. that would be about
190 a month or
43 a week
or 8.7 a day (with a 5 day work week)

Sounds doable.
