and Ia equipped to equal the best
public institution Of its kind.
Although the shops have been con-
structed rapidly they have been built
to last for generations. and In building
and equipping the plant the company
has acted with an eye to the future.
II has been asked, what will be done
with the plant when the war is ended?"
The answer given is that while the
sudden demand for small arms cOnse-
quent to the war Influenced the
promptness Of the undertaking, the
plans Of the company had long been
laid. They provide for the continu-
ance indefinitely Of the present activi-
ties and at the full capacity Of the
plant. The officers of the company
say that entirely apart from war orders
there Ii work enough on hand and In
sight to keep the immense factories
busy for many years. without reckon
Ing on what the future must In ordi-
nary course provide.
Work OF the nature Of that carried
on In the Remington plant requires
that the buildings be of utmost
strength. as all floors arc laden with
heavy machinery run by individual
electric motors. Tho ceilings of the
shops are high. standing II feet 8
inches above the floor. the height OF
the rooms allowing for ample ventila-
tion. In the daytime the floors of
the main units are flooded with light

to provide an even and comfortable

scrupulously clean and everything

largest tool rooms and forge shops In

The general works manager. Major
Walter Grant Penfeld. was the
wizard who wrought the change. He
designed the plant. superintended It's
construction and equipment and in
augurated the policies which now gov
ern 1t. Major Penfield was chosen by
the company for his recognized execu-
tive ability. That the choice was well
made was demonstrated last summer
during the stormy days. when labor
troubles In the building trades threat
ened to disrupt his manufacturing or
ganizatiou. The Major held to his
course, serenely. unfinchingly. adher-
