Patterson suggested that three
shifts be inaugurated in place
of one or two. or that manu-

overtime. But there are too
many "bottlenecks" of one kind
or another that had not been
foreseen at Washington. Very
few airpIane factories are oper-
ating with more than two eight
hour crews a day-some with
less. In some cases 1t is due
TO a lack of tools. In others il
Is absence of skilled mechanics
or delay in work on sub

ing additional plant capacity.
