Here is another book.."Of Tasks Accomplished, Dominion Bridge Company" a a 1945 publication described as " The story of the accomplishments of Dominion Bridge Company Limited and its wholly owned subsidiaries in World War II "
Much of it related to ship construction and Vicker AA guns, also cartridge cases and shells.. lots of photos.

While not a corporate history, Alvah M. Beatty (Publisher, Publications (1943) Limited 1075 Beaver Hall Hill, Montreal) published a book in 1944 called Canada's War at Sea. Part 1, written by Stephen Leacock is a general history of Canada and the sea. Part 2 by Leslie Roberts is what Canada was up to in the war, called Canada and the War at Sea. The next 100 pages is ads by all the companies that provided just about everything to the RCN from ships, to boilers to clothing to rope and propellers. It's amazing how much went into providing for the navy and to see all the firms involved. Some samples:
