TMC's Virigina Plants

This page contains images from TMC's facilities in Viriginia.  These comprised mainly TMC Power (AKA TMC Power Distribution) at 4311 Wheeler Ave., and TMC Systems, a sales office, possibly at 806 N. Henry Street, both in Alexandria, VA. In about 1963, TMC had a new plant built for TMC Power Distribution in Springfield, VA.
