Entire Cartridge, Case, Cap, and Bul- let, Manufactured on Premises, “’hich Have Been in Operation for Several Monthsâ€"There Are Many “'omen Engaged in This “'artime “fork. NE important development the war has brought about in Ontario is the establish- ment of new wartime in- dustries. Shell and fuse making were not in the category of domestic industries at the outbreak of the war; to-day there is scarcely a place in the province that cannot boast of its shell plant. Similarly, in the manufacture of small-arm ammuni- tion, that is, for rifles and machine guns, the new arsenal at Lindsay, which has been in operation over two months now, is another link in the chain of organization that is making Canada’s war machine self-support- ing. Through the courtesy of Sir Ed- ward Kemp, Minister of Militia, a Toronto newspaper man was privil- eged recently to go over the plant at Lindsay, and ascertain at first hand what is being accomplished. It must be borne in mind, in the first place, that the Dominiox. Arsenal at Lind- say is a purely Canadian enterprise. Its location So far inland gives it a safe strategic position. It is modern- ly equipped and follows the most up-to-date shop practice; complete in every department, the entire cart- ridge-case, cap, and bullet is manu- factured on the premises. The word arsenal suggests some- thing imposing, but a visitor going to this place expecting to see a huge pile of buildings would be dis- appointed. Except the oflices, the whole place is unpretentious in ap- pearance, the workshops being one- storey in height, constructed of brick and steel. Of course the plant is fireproof throughout, the one danger in, this connection being from light- ning, and -to guard against that every machine is “grounded.” The shops contain hundreds of machines, especially designed for the work; there is a gas plant that supplies fuel to the annealing ovens; a 600-yard underground range with unique equipment installed for testing pur- poses, and another range of 180 yards is used for experimental work. Sufficient land has been secured to extend the plant at any time. Warfare has become an exact science. It is particularly so in con- nection with gunnery and musketry. The ammunition used. by armies to- day must be exact to the thousandth part of an inch; not only that, but the material itself, brass, cupra- nickel, aluminum, lead, and copper, must pass severe and searching tests at each stage of manufacture. Altogether there are fifty-two sep- arate operations in the making of a service cartridge. These may be roughly divided into three class-es, namely, (3.) making the case, (b) the bullet, and (c) the cap. When these are all completed there is the loading and finishing, which is done in a separate group of buildings, ne- cessarily considerably removed from the remainder of the plant. The material, that is, cupra-nickel, copper, zinc, lead, aluminum, is reâ€" ceived in its raw state, heated, and rolled into long strips. In casting the brass, care has to be taken to avoid the formation or gas bubbles, and slow pouring is required. All through the process the brass has to be annealed after each operation that causes heat, while the nickel is drawn cold, and it is after these dif- ferent stages that the metallurgist and chemist are continually on the lookout for defects either in struc- ture or chemical contents. The cupra-nickel which is used for mak- ing the envelope of the bullet is con- trolled by the British Government. The making of a cartridge case is largely a stamping operation. The strip of metal is passed through a machine which stamps out small discs which in turn are pressed into cup shapes and then given the first draw, second draw, third draw, after which it is annealed in a gas furnace, and drawn again, the base formed, hole for the cap pressed out and the firing holes punched. The firing holes, two in number, are about the size of an ordinary pin. An instance for the need of careful inspection can be mentioned here. If it should happen that three holes were punch- ed it would cause an explosion that would damage the rifle; if only one hole, there would be a miss fire. So that accuracy is demanded by con- siderations of both efficiency and safety. The operating end of the cartridge 35 the bullet. This consists of three parts, the cupra-nickel envelope, an aluminum point and a lead core. The enveIOpe is a! '3 punched out of a strip, drawn, pointed, cut to the pro- ; per length and rectified. “-AknkI" ‘VHDVOO wâ€"â€" .â€" The making of the cap is probably the simplest operation. It is only a small copper cup, but it has to be carefully inspected for flaws. The percussion compound is run in and pressed under - a weight of 600 pounds to the square inch, and then dried in a vacuum oven. This oven is a strongly built iron barrel shapen, with the ends attached to springs. It often happens that the fulminite ex- plodes in drying, and these take up the force of the explosion and pre- vent damage to the apparatus or in- jury to the operator. {JV A 3â€" AA.“ ‘wâ€"d The machinery throughout is com- plicated and requires careful adjust- ment. The discs have to be contin- ually watched for wear. Many of the machines show almost human in- genuity with a measure of accuracy that is humanly impossible. For in- stance one of the most complicated, operated by a young woman, takes the nickel envelope, deposits it in a place in a plate, inserts the alum- THE DURHAM CHBGNICLE. inum point and then the lead core, which is twice wedged to make all secure. In the loading operation the cordite is fed from fifty foot spools, which are enclosed in concrete cab- inets and the cordite passes through a small hole in the wall, is fitted into the case, cut off at the proper length, and varnished to prevent the charge being spoiled by moisture. This is followed by another operation by which the bullet is fixed in and crimped tightly, and the cartridge is then ready for final inspection. Experimental work is always being carried on. In addition to the chem- ical and metallographic tests each lot of metal is tested for its tensile strength and elasticity. On the 600- yard range rifles are attached to fix- ed platforms With an original attach- ment for insuring absolute accuracy in sighting, so that positive results are secured from firing tests, while on the small range the velocity of a bullet can be precisely measured. Throughout there is no guess work, and pains have been taken in design- ing the plant that the people of Canada may be proud in the know- ledge that the Dominion Lindsay Ar- senal to-day represents the latest word in the manufacture of small- arm ammunition. Among the staff there are many women, who take pride in its grow- ing efficiency and are giving the same enthusiastic service that is character- istic of the women workers in muni- tion plants in other parts of the country and-the Allied Nations. HIGH COST OF CARELESSNESS. Terrible Forest Fires Come From Trifling Causes. A man dropped a lighted match on the shore of Kalamalka Lake, Brit- ish Columbia, on July 8th last. Within an hour a hot fire was racing through the underbrush. For three weeks after that there raged a series of forest fires, defying the organized efforts of hundreds 01' men. At one time, 26 fire fighters were ringed about with flames while their relatives, shut off from them and helpless to aid, awaited news in ter- rorized suspense. Only after severe suffering from exhaustion, thirst, and hunger did the band of workers force their way through to safety. That experience is a big price to pay for one person’s foolish act in handling matches in a forest. The court fined the careless man $50, but that does not help the province to bear the enormous loss. One lighted match dropped on one inch of inflammable ground expand- ed into fifteen miles of ruin. In. the Spruce Valley fire of British Columbia of the same month, eleven men lost their lives, most of them tortured to death as they struggled over the mountain tops. The fuse to that disaster was supplied by a small piece of lighted tobacco careâ€" lessly thrown on the grassy floor of a tent. Ninety out of a hundred tragic holocausts could be avoided if every Canadian camper and fisherman kept vigilant watch on his own pair of hands, and every settler kept a tight rein on his clearing fires. It does not cost five cents or five minutes to put out a camp fire or a cigarette or a match, but it costs the peOple of Canada four or five million dollars a year to partially overtake the tim- ber damage caused by runaway flames. An officer in the Canadian forces, Major Edgar, now serving in Fland- ers, tells the following affecting story of a dog’s love and fidelity. The dog was an Irish terrier, whose home with a French family was destroyed when the Germans came. He fled from the ruined house and the dead bodies of the people he had loved, and sought refuge with one of the British regiments. Here one of the kindly Tommies adopted him and named him Army. The kindly Tom- my was killed subsequently, and the dog stationed himself, a lonely watcher, at his grave. Other soldiers who came there found and cared for him; and when they were killed or had retired, still others became his guardians. He loved them all, but he never forgot his first soldier friend and master, or failed to watch by his grave. He remained on guard all through the winter, and one morning he was found frozen to death there. After Army had died the authori- ties gave permission for him to be buried beside the master to whom he had been" so faithful, and there in Flanders is the big grave with the little one beside it; and the dog’s name, as well as that of his master, is inscribed upon the cross that marks their last earthly resting place. A visitor with half a dozen suit- cases rushed up to the proprietor of the Maple Hotel in a small Canadian, town. “Say, mister, I owns the Athenian Sewing Machine building in Phila- delphia. My name’s Tom S. Gregg, and Senator P. H. Figgin said that if I mentioned his name you’d look after me.” As the only reply of the English- man was to take his pipe out of his mouth and stare at him, the traveller began his tale anew. ”Say, mister, my name’s Tom S. Gregg, and I own the Athenian Sew- ing Machine building in Philadel- phia. P. H. Figgin, senator, said that if I mentioned his name you’d look after me.” Biiné ihmost answered long yawn. The visitor once more himself, ending as before mark: "And Senator P that if I mentioned his look after me.” Thgâ€"lvandlord made an effort at last and said, slowly: “All right, 01d Cplp' ‘Vhat (1’5'91‘ want me kiss yer?
