Chris Matthews on MSNBC:
"We get so much of our lumber, our two by fours from from Canada….What are we going to do? Have more lumber made in the United States now?!"
"What is our plan now…? We're going to create more wood. Is that it?!"
"Are we going to make more wood in this country because of our trade deal?! I don't think so!"

Flowers bloom in front of large letters that spell out “Mannem,” the slang name for Mannheim, Germany. The building behind it was once a U.S. Army warehouse at the former Spinelli Barracks. (Michael Abrams/Stars and Stripes)

General Patton's Accident Site, Mannheim, Germany
On the morning of December 9, 1945, General George S. Patton started out on a pheasant hunting trip in the vicinity of Mannheim, Germany. While driving through Mannheim, General Patton's vehicle collided with a US Army truck and he sustained serious, life-threatening injuries in the accident. On December 12, 1945, General Patton died from these injuries at the US Army hospital at Heidelberg.
Years later, then-PFC Horace Woodring, Patton's driver during the accident, provided accounts of his memory of the crash. PFC Woodring's versions of the event were consisent through the years and his narratives did not vary, especially with regard to the accident location.
Historically, a "2x4" was a 2-inch by 4-inch piece of lumber, but due to milling and planing, the actual dimensions of a modern 2x4 are 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches, a change that occurred around the 1960s. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
Here's a more detailed explanation: [1, 3, 6]
• Early Lumber: In the past, lumber was cut and milled locally, and sized on-site by carpenters. A 2x4 was a 2-inch by 4-inch piece of wood. [1, 2, 3, 6]
• Industrialization and Standardization: As the lumber industry grew and lumber was transported further, the need for standardization emerged. [1, 2, 3, 7]
• Milling and Planing: To ensure consistent sizes and a smoother surface, lumber was milled and planed, reducing the actual dimensions. [2, 3, 5]
• The Shift: The shift from actual to nominal dimensions coincided with the industrialization of lumber production in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. [8]
• Modern 2x4: Today, a 2x4 is a nominal 2x4, meaning it's named as such, but the actual dimensions are 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]
• Reasons for the Change: [2, 3, 5]
• Efficiency: Milling and planing allowed for more efficient use of lumber and reduced waste. [2, 3, 5]
• Shipping: Smaller, lighter pieces were easier to ship. [2, 3, 5]
• Consistency: Standardized dimensions made it easier for builders to work with lumber. [2, 3, 7]
• Standardization Efforts: The first national size standard emerged in the 1920s, with further revisions in the 1930s and 1960s. [2, 9]
• 1960s Standard: By the 1960s, the nominal 2x4 became the actual 1½ x 3½ inch board. [4, 9, 10]
