naces were shut down. pending the prosecution OF
the war ave are not making rails" he said
"How much more ton does this steel cost,
asked, chan steel made by the Bessemer proc
esq"
about IS per cent" he replied.
A puzzled look came into his face But knew
he wouldn't understand; so didn't disclose the
absurd thought chasing around in my brain. Lit
orally expressed it was this:
"Why should better quality steel be used for
guns and ammunition than for rails?
Why superior material in instruments for TAX
ing human life than in mechanical devices for
protecting human life? I thinking you see,
that in America, with our heavy equipment
distressingly large proportion of railway accidents
are due to defective steel rails.
There is something almost wasteful in the art
and craft devoted to the making of the shell-say
a seventy-ive. This care, of course, is highly
essential, from the artillery experts point Of
view. The true fight of projecte depends
upon the nicely of the centre of gravity This is
dependent upon the absolute accuracy of every
process and detail Of she'll making. If there be
error in any step of the process the projectile,
revolving in its fight, will wabble-get off its
course-act wildly, like "spitbalp in moist
pitching To avoid such calamity, the she'll is
turned to one-tenth of milimetre, which, as |
have computed is approximately hairs breadth.
This remarkable accuracy is brought about by
the use of American machines-in particular,
chuckng machine made in Pawtucket, Rhode
Island, which performs three operations without
unchecking: % shaving down the she'll to pre-
eisely the right size; (2) cutting the ceinture, or
c;rdle, which holds the copper belt lthe guide
belt taking" the rifing or spiral grooves which
produce the rotary motion Of the projectile), and
(s) finishing the end of the she'll, making it ready
for the addition Of the brass fuse.
In the government arsenal at Bourges there
were a small number of these chucking machines
from Pawtucket the censor does not permit me
% Give the exact number. At Creusot ten times
&C many! Our guide emphasized this equipment
with great pride as he drew attention to the
lO0-ton hammer.
Al Rourees there were few automatic machines
before the war. Now there are many, and by the
u,c Of these machines production Of fuses has
been speeded up forty times what it was Eight
ont Of ten of these machines are OF American
manufacture. The same is true Of the automatic
machines used in shell-making at Creusot. no'ed
at both places machinery bearing the names OF
firms at Providence, R. l., Hartford Conn., ana
the Ohio cities of Cleveland and Cincinnati
All industrial France has been divided into DIS
,riets and modified for the manufacture OF am
murition. The daily production OF shells Is
enormous, largely due to American automatic
machines. France has immense reserve and
can now fire 100000 shells day and continue
to pile up the reserve.
