commercial and domestic equipment fourteen months ago this firm received orders from the government that they were to start work upon the production of barrels for the bofors antlaircraft gun with all possible baste before manufacture of these barrels could get tinder way two difficulties had to be overcome not only was the existing plant inadequate for the work chat it was called upon to do but not one member af the firm nor of the plant personnel had previously bad ny expedience in the manufacture of armaments to remedy these two difficulties plans were immediately for the cocetrudtton of a
