Description
Excerpt from Manufacture of Artillery Ammunition
Our vital national need for a text - book dealing with the quantity manufacture Of army and navy materials should require little either by way of explanation or comment. Two years of experience on orders for foreign governments have taught our American manufacturers that the making of materials Of modern warfare is a new art. It is an art with which we have had little or no previous experience and in which our workmen are unskilled.
In England, a little over two years ago there were not more than three government arsenals. Today more than four thousand Of Eng land''s leading industrial plants are being Operated as government factories for the production Of war materials, and many other thousands of factories still under private control are concentrating their energies in the same direction. The teaching Of the munition-making art to these thousands of manufacturers and to millions Of industrial workers, both men and women, has called for a work in industrial organization and education such as the world has never before seen. In France, in Germany, in Italy, in Japan, and even in Russia, this same education and organization of the industrial forces is going forward.
