A friend of mine was asking me what the TW represents on the F 12 engine block casting.  I couldn't even imagine what it represents but seems as though I've seen it before.  The letter T stands in the center of the W, any one know what that represents?  Thanks for the help!

Tractor Works was IH's BIG manufacturing plant in downtown Chicago, The 8-16, 10-20, 15-30 tractors were all built there, the prototype Farmall known as the Regular were built there until IH bought what was known as the Farmall Works about 1924 and production started in 1926.  I tried finding the exact address but the closest Info I could find it was built after the Great Chicago Fire at the intersection of Blue Island and Western Ave.
