Girls In White Fill Cartridges For Canada

(By Frank Flaherty, Cangdign Press Staff Writer)

"The life history of a, rifle carr- rldize is o. succession of intricate and detailed manufacturing pro- cesses leading up to a. battle front explosion which may carry death to some of the King's enemies.

The preliminary stages of the life history of hundreds of thous- ands of cartridges takes place in Canada. The filial stage the ex- plosion, will probably ta e place beyond Canada.

Recently, with a party of news. paper reporters and photograph- ers, thc writer was shown through two plants somewhere in Canada where cartridges, .303 ammunition to the experts) as well as shrap- nel and high explosive shells of all sizes and even aerial bombs, are shaped, filled with explosives, tcstcd and ked for delivery to the men w o operate the guns, rifles and aircraft of Canada's fighting forces.

In one plant the shells them- selves and most of the non-ex- plosive parts of ammunition and its accessories are made. In the other the explosive, powder, cor- dlto. T. N_ T., or other substance is inserted and the deadly pro- duct rcoches completion.

Series of Processes

Manufacture of rifle ammuni- tion starts with the production of brass which takes place in the foundry of the Government ar- senal. The brass is cut into small discs which go first to a punch which turns them into small cups, about the size of a child's thllnble.

Gradually in a. series of pro- cesses of diffeient machines these cups are further punched, drawn and shaped into flat-bottomed cylinders with rings about the bottom. Nineteen separate oper- ations are involved.

Slmilltaneousl on other rna- chines the bu cts are fashioned from steel And lead. The inted steel cover of the bullet is he re- suit of punching and drawig dilerations and in it goes a 1e corc. All this required 1B separate operations.

Finished cartridges and bullets then go to the filling plant in the country. a series o modernlstic comouflaged buildings, surrounded by forests and snow- hills. There white-smocked girls cut lciig threads of brown explosive info short, carefully-measured and ivclghed lengths, insert them in

Big revolving drums ltko wash- ing machines are used to clean and polish the finished art-fideli- They are filled with sow-dust and as the drums revolve the curl- ridges are sientlv rubbed and roll- ed in the sawdust.

The finished product must pass two‘ careful inspections. First there is inspection by the arsenal itself and finally by B depart- mental inspection service under separate management.
