In 1918 the United States govern
ment placed a war contract with the
company for 2s2.50o.oOO pounds Of
ammonium nitrate and o5,ooo.0oo
pounds Of acids. which goes to
show what an immense part that
company played in the war.
In a chapter on the work OF the
American Car and Foundry Com
pany. the author tells Of the work
the Wilmington plant did in the
building OF submarine chasers. He
also tells OF the speed with which
they turned out the chasers. In one
contract that the plant worked on
boat month had to be built to
comply with the contract as laid
down by the government The Will
mington plant showed they could
build the chasers and build them
with speed.
Mr.. Williams has left out no plant
in his book in and around Whining
ton that did war work. He goes
on to tell about the activities OF the
Ball Grain Explosives Company,
which had its plant at Granogue, on
the Brandywine. During the war
this plant loaded 125,000 rife gren-
ades a day, employing force OF $50
employees. male and female. Francis
I. DUPONT was president. and William
dupont was first vice president Of the
plant
Mention is made Of the New Castle
branch of-the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany, which made an explosive
charge known as ''tetryl." The pur-
pose OF 'tetryl" was to explode a
shell when it hit the ground.
Mr.. Williams tells OF the way in
which the Hercules Powder Com
pany handled its big Government
war contracts. During the war the
kenvil, n. j., plant OF the company
was turning out 100000 pounds OF
cordite monthly for the British gov
ernment. Cordite is known as a dou-
BILE base powder. because IL is COM
posed OF two explosive ingredients
gun cotton and nitroglycerin. In
1917 and 1918, 10000 carloads OF
material. which II devolved upon the
purchasing department 10 secure
was handled in and out OF the plants
The A. Jedel Corporation OF New
ark. Del, is mentioned in connection
with its work OF making smoke
screens. parachute rockets. sigma
rockets, flares, smoke torches and
Very lights. The need for smoke
screens was intensive. particularly by
the Signal Corps. which used smoke
screens to great advantage.
Another Newark Industry which
Mr.. Williams explains in his book is
that OF the Continental Fibre Conn
pany. The wartime product that this
firm turned out under the Ordnance
Department was product known as
"Bakelite- Dilecto," which is used
extensively in the manufacture OF
wireless apparatus
The story Of Pusey g. Jones as
brought out by the author. is unique
and interesting in the fact that this
firm not only supplied the Army
Ordnance with highly specialized
products. turning over to the Gov
ernment by far the largest portion
OF their facilities, but they also were
veterans of the Civil and Spanish
American wars. There are few firms
in the United States that have been
guided solely by father and son for
seventy years. The book gives the
complete history OF the Pusey &
Jones plant from it's organization in
1S4S until the war period.
Mr., Williams concludes his bool
