ORDNANCE WORK
WILL BE SHOWN
DURING PARADE
Big Funs Made to Silence INNS
Wfn be Feature of Fourth of
July Celebration.

During the war residents of this
community while aware of the fact
that at the R. & V. plants in East
Moline and at the Rock Islano
arsenal large quantities of ord
nance and munitions were being
manufactured, were afforded no op-
pertunity to see these products The
public, therefore, has little concsp-
ton Of the exact nature of the
ordnance which has been manutac
tufed here and which played IT'S
part in the world war.
In connection with the East No.
line Fourth of July celebration the
public viii get it's first sight of the
war products manufactured in the
plants Of the Root & Van Dervoort
Engineering company and r. & "
wagner Ordnance company. Special
permission of the navy department
has been secured for the exhibition
of these products publicly and tney
will be displayed on several trucks,
at~peast one of which has been .es-
petally constructed.
" Probably the most interesting ex-
h1bit Will be the big 4-inch naval
r1le,- one of the chief products OF
the r. & V.-Wagner Ordnance COM
pany. This big gun, IT feet long, Is
so heavy that it requires a spec
tally constructed truck of ten ton
capacity 10 carry It. While in the
parade 1t will not be mounted on a
turret. It viii be in charge of a gun
crew and will be operated so peo-
PIE may see the action of the
breech mechanism. Probably most
people are not aware of the TACT
that a 4-inch naval rifle has a
range Of more than S miles and is
about equal in weight and power TO
a 9-inch Howitzer.
Exhibit Naval Gun.
Another exhibit will be the 3-inch
naval rifle, which was used SO ef.
feetiyely against the submarine.
Shis gun will be mounted on a mo-
toAtruck complete exactly as If it
wefS&on the deck Of a battlesnip
and will be in charge OF a crew of
eight, all of whom are ex-gunners
Of the U. s. navy. and all Of whom
are employees of the r. e. V. plants.
The crew will be IN battle uniform
and the use of lampblack and red
ink will give a realistic touch to the
scene.
A third exhibit, which will be
very instructive, will be on includ-
ing shells of various sizes. A truck
will carry specimens of the 9-inch,
s-inch, 6-inch, 3-inch, one FOUNDERS
and other shells. This will be es-
pecially interesting in view of the
fact that during the war Root &
Van Dervoort Engineering COM
pany manufactured hundreds OF
thousands of shells of both the high
explosive and gas type for the
British and United States govern
ments.
VIII Spring Surprise.
Two other exhibits will be enter
ed by the R. & V. plants and while
their nature is being kept secret I.
is said that they will be fully as in
teresting as the display of guns
and ammunition above mentioned
and prove something of a revela-
zion to the public They will reflect
the Importance, of Their &v in
dustries and the great diversity OF
It's line of manufacture. Work of
preparing the r. & Y. flots for the
para3e is already well under way.
