In order to produce the magnetic coils essential in the production of Uranium metal from Uranium dioxide, AC wound the coils out of pure silver (Because Silver was available to replace the critically short copper during wartime. A total of 6,000 tons of silver was borrowed from the West Point Depository to create the coils.) The coils were produced, the Uranium was processed, the bombs were built and the war was won. That is why a tractor manufacturer was a prime contractor in the construction of the Atomic Bomb.
