with 12-inch guns as fast as they are
needed, but the output of S-inch guns is
such that the delivery OF the last weap-
OILS will be about eight years behind the
completion OF the last ship. Contracts
have. however. been made for twenty
four S-inch guns and thirty-six 7-inch
guns. and this will greatly relieve the
shortage OF this caliber.
The manufacture OF 4. 3. and 6 inch
guns is such that. II the factory worked
sixteen hours day. all the guns now
required would be completed in 1908.

delay the last OF the ships now author
lied. but the ships due to be delivered in
1905 would De considerably delayed.
Manufacture Of gun mounts Is such
that the 12-inch mounts required by the
three ships Of the Virginia class will not
be ready for a year after the ships are
ready for the armament. At the present
rate Of work the factory output Of S-inch
gun mounts would show a deficiency OF

chip authorized, were II not for the fact
that sixty of these mounts have been
contracted for outside. The manufae-
rure OF smaller gun mounts by the fac
tory viii probably keep pace with the
demand
General conclusions of the report are
that the normal output should be by one
shift Of men working eight hours; that
the annual capacity of the gun factory
shoGId be made such 'as TO permit the
completion from forgings procured from
private manufacturers OF all guns OF
calibers from twelve TO six inches. inclu-
